On Monday, the doctor did not like the results of the blood work. So he reordered it. Of course, it turned out the same. Main concern was low sodium, high potassium plus a few others. At 10:30 p.m. they told Robin to take Emma to the ER. Well, they decided that they needed to admit Emma until the blood tests were closer to normal. They told us that with low sodium, Emma could have convulsions, etc. and it would be easier to watch her and to treat her faster in the hospital. So at 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday Emma was admitted. Well, that now meant that Emma’s home care nurse had to have a ride back to the house. So I went to the hospital and helped get all the admitting information done and then took the nurse back to the house. Then home and to bed about 4 a.m. So no one got much sleep. Before 8 a.m., they came and said that Emma’s labs were better and if they continued to get better, she could possibly go home. Well, not good enough. Emma is also having constipation and stomach pains. So they are giving her things to help that. So, we got a little sleep last night. So now we play the waiting game and see how the labs come out today. I’ll keep you posted on how she is doing and when she can go home.
Love to all,
Grandma Carol
