Amputation Update

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes. My mom had her surgery, and it’s very hard to get used to seeing her without legs. Today was the first day she was really herself. Up till now she’s been extremely tired and hallucinating from the medication. She’s still in the hospital, but we’re hoping to get her out in a few days. Unfortunately she has to go to a nursing home for rehab, but I’m hoping it will only be a couple months. Both my parents are depressed and I keep trying to find something to lift their spirits, but not much does now. The doctor doesn’t give me a very good outlook on her as she still isn’t eating. He doesn’t expect her to live thru the year, and that’s been very hard on the family. However, all your warm wishes and prayers have helped, and I’m very grateful for them. Thank you for being there.

After how badly she was neglected in the hospital, there’s no way I’d leave her there for rehab. They didn’t turn her, she got bed sores, not to menntion there was confusion about her meds. I work in dialysis and have a very good relationship with the home I picked for rehab, which is why I picked it. However, thank you for the insight…sounds like your hospitals might be a little better than the ones we have here.
