Mom's in the Hospital

[DianaB]

My Mom took a trip on Saturday to Hutchinson with our senior group at church to see the Salt Museum. They stopped to eat on the way and the people mover had trouble keeping very cool after that and my Mom got sick to her stomach. I guess that she was very, very sick. Even yesterday she was still sick. This morning she was dizzy and still not feeling well so the doctor put her in the hospital because of being dehydrated. Hopefully, she won't be in more than a day or two. Your prayers would really be appreciated.

Prayer on its way.
I hope your mother improves quickly and is able to come home fully rested.

Oh Diana, I am so sorry to hear this. The heat here, more like humidity is really bad too. I hope your mom starts feeling better really soon. Of course she'll be in my prayers.

[Tink]

My prayers are with you both!
HUGS

Diana, I was so worried when I saw this thread. Hope it is just dehydration and that she is better and home very soon!!!!!!! So sad that she and you had to go through this. I'm sure she felt awful. Prayers are headed your way!!!

The heat where you are is worse than we are having. We'll be at 100 and you're at 103. Stay cool!!!

Diana sorry to hear this, I hope she is feeling better real soon. She is in my prayers.

Not only have we been hot but the humidity has been really bad. It just sucks the breath right out of you when you step outside. I don't remember when it's felt so hot. Our temperature is suppose to be 100* today but with the heat index values it will seem like 109*.

I talked to my Mom and she's still really dizzy and that she's still being given fluid. She said that she was able to keep her breakfast down and that was good news. I bet that she stays in the hospital at least for another day.

[Janet]

Her staying in the hospital may be the best thing for your Mom Diana. Please tell her your friends here at 4Wt have her in our prayers.

[Tink]

Diana, I'm thinking too with that kind of heat outside, the hospital is probably the safest place for her. At least there you KNOW she's being watched and kept cool and getting the liquids she needs. That kind of weather is terribly unhealthy but particularly hard on the very young and elderly.

Wish I could ship you some of our 79 degree temp today.
It's lovely here.

It would be so appreciated if you could send some of it down here!!! I think that we're suppose to cool off on Thursday. The forecast is for 86*. That will be a welcome relief!!

I went and saw Mom this afternoon and she's still dizzy, but feeling better. Hopefully she'll be let out tomorrow evening. My step-Dad is a sweetheart and he's been hovering over her. He's there to help her with every little thing and it's so sweet to see. My Dad didn't treat my Mom very well so it's nice to see her well taken care of now.

Tink, did you see my Mom on the back of the Sea Doo with my husband? She is very young for her age (70) and takes really good care of herself. And she still works 4 days a week! She's hardly ever been in the hospital so this was a surprise. She's in post #4.

Diana, she sounds like MY mom! lol
Mine's 72 but goes dancing every chance she gets and loves to Polka. People half her age have trouble keeping up with her. She also babysits my 2 grandaughters several days a week and I will admit I cannot keep up with that 3 yr old. lol

Wow, your moms are young. If mine was still alive, she would have celebrated her 94th birthday on Aug. 2nd. She died in 2000 at the age of 85. Daddy would be 96 on Sept. 13. He passed in 1995 at 82. Spend time with them while you can and get those recipes you want and have them identify the people in those old pictures they have.

Diana, hope your mom improves very soon and gets to go home to that sweet husband of hers!!
