I don't know exactly what to say in this post other than mom has been on a downward spiral the past few weeks. She fell at the nursing home again on March 12th and broke her shoulder and her hip. The ER doctor didn't see it and sent her BACK to the nursing home. The next morning Cheryl had the head of the radiology dept read the films and confirmed the 2 breaks. The nursing home staff proceeded to make her as comfortable as possible but she just went downhill very fast.

Her bp fell dangerously low so they called 911 I think on March 24th. She was admitted to the hospital where she needed 2 units of blood, fluids because she was dehydrated, needed blood, UTI, thyroid out of wack etc. The doctors discussed Hospice with us at that time as well, due to her leukemia being out of remission, therefore we contacted Hospice and they have put her under their care as of March 28th.

She returned to the nursing home on Saturday, weak, going in and out of sleep and we thought we would be planning her funeral for this week. However on Sunday, she was gotten up out of bed twice for 2 meals and was awake and alert.

She never ceases to amaze us. So who knows what will happen....I certainly cannot predict a thing anymore...
