Oh Janet, I know you are so worried about her. I would be too. I don't have any idea what caused her to pass out. Gary passed out too, a couple of weeks ago, but we think it was that his blood pressure got too low. Sometimes you just don't know. With her dialysis, it could be electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) that were out of whack - but if it were that, then it would have shown up in the blood tests.

I know you don't want her to go to FL - I know you are worried about not seeing her again. It is so hard, we want to protect them, they want to live their life. I have begged Gary to not do something so many times, and he just looks at me like I am crazy. He says if he dies doing XXX, then it will be OK because he was living his life to the fullest. Of course, that doesn't make me feel much better, but I suppose it is true.

Fact is, there isn't much we can do to "protect" our family (other than our children), even though we really want to.

I'm so glad your mom is OK. I hope she doesn't have any more episodes.
