Please take care of yourself - my mother actually did end up admitted to the hospital when my dad was in for a bunch of stuff. <BR/><BR/>This is a crazy complication that's for sure. I'm not sure any advice is appropriate, not only because as well established, I am not a fucking doctor either - but taking down the meds/tranqs/etc. sound like it is worth asking about. What about moving her to a bigger hospital - a university hospital, Duke or some shit? <BR/><BR/>Thinking of you, dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075205.post-68900342105094805452008-08-27T07:58:00.000-04:002008-08-27T07:58:00.000-04:00Once when my Dad was in the hospital with pneumoni...Once when my Dad was in the hospital with pneumonia, they said he couldn't swallow and wanted to put in a feeding tube, but then they took him off tranquilizers and repeated the test, he could swallow fine. He's had several bouts of aspiration pneumonia over the years but is hanging in there.<BR/><BR/>If she's not already taking it, co-enzyme Q-10 will help your Mom's heart. It enhances cellular respiration and is used by every cell in the body. It's available at any health food or drug store, but expensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075205.post-48657476525772950812008-08-27T00:12:00.000-04:002008-08-27T00:12:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry you're going through this.

I thought like gag reflex was like the suckling instinct or something where.. well, i don't know i'm no doctor either.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry about this. Hospitals are so surreal and not of this world or something. When my dad went in he had all kinds of complications and they had to remove his toes because of diabetes. Later while still there they removed his leg from the knee down. I felt like they were chopping away at my dad until there'd be nothing left.<BR/><BR/>One silly note was that the usual nurse came in to take his blood pressure and weigh him and stuff and said "Oh my gosh! You've lost a huge amount of weight. Are you eating?" Dad scowled at her, pointed to where his leg was and said something like "the rest of me is in a dumpster out back." At least he had humor 'till the end.<BR/><BR/>Fliss, my phone is working now, but i don't want to call because you need your rest, but please call me if you need anything. Email me if you need my work phone (the 9-5 thing) tomorrow. OK? <BR/><BR/>OK?zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868598666930002690noreply@blogger.com
