Mom had to be admitted to the hospital on Saturday. She had not been feeling well this entire week. She hasn't eating and drinking very much. Her stomach is also very full of fluid again.
On Friday, she was very weak. She was complaining of some back pain and that it was hard to lift her legs. We made a call to her oncologist and were told to go to the ER is she got more uncomfortable. We ended up taking her Saturday afternoon, because the pain did increase and she was weak. We were there about 5 hours before she was admitted. They found that she was dehydrated and that her sodium level was dangerously low. They were not able to remove any of the fluid from her stomach yet. She was already scheduled to have that done on Monday at the hospital, so they've just had her keep that appointment. The plan is to have her be the first patient on Monday.
She will be staying at the hospital at least through Monday. We are not sure if they'll keep her after the fluid is removed or not. Thankfully all the fluid and sodium she's been given has made her feel better. We think that she'll feel even better once all the other fluid is drained from her stomach.
Please pray that she continues to improve and that the doctors will be able to help her as much as they can.
