gardnmom Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 They could find no reason for the pain and breathing difficulties. they are keeping her one more night for observation and if nor problems she comes home tomorrow. They have about comcluded that it was stress related. Mom in and out of the hospital 3 times in one month and then, her Dh fell off a horse and broke 3 ribs, badly bruised his collar bone and damaged the clavacle in his shoulder did this on Thur and would not let her take him to the dr till Sat. So for now all looks good. Thanks for your prayers...... ------------------ Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly. Quote Link to comment
Homesteader Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Glad to hear it's not too serious. I know in my family everyone seems to get sick or hurt at about the same time. I wish we could space it out evenly!! So much easier on everyone that way. Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Too much stress is not good but better than a heart attack. I hope she gets to come home soon and that things settle down for your family. ------------------ Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 That is GREAT news, Lois! I'm always encouraging people to stop smoking...I saw my DH's grandmother die from lung cancer...it's an awful death.

logcabinmama Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Lois, so glad it was not a heart attack. The angina attacks can be controlled somewhat can't they? At least they did give here some nitro, didn't they? Thanks for the up date, and keep us informed if there is more to tell. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
mrszouave Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Gee Lois....i guess that's good....have they given her a heart catherization to see how clear her arteries are? deb ------------------ Quote Link to comment
gardnmom Posted November 18, 2002 Author Share Posted November 18, 2002 The only thing the 36 hours of monitoring showed was that her oxygen levels were low. She insisted on going home as they have not insurance DH is retired military, he can get treatment through the VA, but since she was laid off she has no Ins. She has agreed to get the other tests on an outpatient basis. ------------------ Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

mrszouave Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Dang Lois! This country Has to do Something about the un-insured and the under insured (elderly)....it's just not right!!!!!!!! Is there a way for your sister to be treated under the VA? I thought spouses of military were possibly covered. deb ------------------ [This message has been edited by debbielee (edited November 18, 2002).] Quote Link to comment
