Hi,
The nursing home called me. The nurse practionioner thinks Mom has a pulmonary embolism. She is very short of breath, and having a hard time catching her breath. She may be in respiratory distress, and they are sending her to the hospital for xrays.
Your prayers would be appreciated. I don't want to lose her now. I will keep you posted.
Thank you my dear family,
Betsy aka Boo

God bless
darn, if it's not one thing it's another isn't it?
good thing you have such a positive attitude in life!
my thoughts are with you and your mom ((((HUGS))))
Ok, Mom doesn't have a pulmonary embolism, but she does have pneumonia again, and is on oxygen and antibiotics. She is back in the hospital. Not sure what they will need me to do about her clothes and personal items at the nursing home, and she just got there!! I talked to her earlier, she feels lousy, and is not breathing well at all.
I asked her how she was. She said she doesn't care anymore, and is tired of being sick. I think she's ready to go my friends. I told her,"Do'nt you want to come home"? She said yes, but this is just not a good life". I said i understood, but asked her to keep fighting.
We'll see how things go. Thank you very much for all of your well wishes!!

Update on my Mom. She is a trouper! She's on 15 liters of o2, they put her on a pureed diet, because she has a lot of mucus, and she's not happy about that!!!
But, even with all that, and pneumonia, (no pulmonary embolism), she is still hanging in there!
She wants to come home!! And, I want her to eventually get her home.
Thanks for your well wishes and prayers, i do believe they helped a lot!!

Please take care of yourself.
