What ELSE!!!

So last night was quite interesting. My Mom has been very sick for a few days now. She has had a bladder/BM control for about 4 days. My friend Ben went up to visit her Sunday in her room and saw what I have been dealing with for the last few days.

Last night I told her that she was going to the hospital either by ambulance or calling to see if my aunt would take her to Cook County Hospital. I would of taken her but I had a Class this morning. We basically had to carry her outside. It was the first time my mother willing used a walker. That was a big thing. Here I am supposed to be taking care of her and I am not doing so well. Worst of all is now my aunt is in this with no clue what has been going on. 

I could just picture what was being said in the car. Why did they not take you days ago? Why did he let it get so bad? Basically judging me. SHE HAS NO CLUE! 2 days ago I said lets go to the hospital and she said "Lets give it a day" 

One thing my mother has always taught me was compassion. I know what she has been going through for over 5 years. Knowing how she has been treated in the past I could understand her not wanting to go to the Hospitals here in K3.  

So this morning I missed a class because of an accident on Interstate 57. I get home and call the hospital. She was never admitted! After a few very precise words the women stated "Sir there is no Wendy Rich here". 

Seems she went to county and there were about 1000 people in the er. With the colder weather the Emergency room fills with people sick from being out in the cold and people just looking to get out of the cold. My aunt finally after 3 hours and still about 100 people in front of my mom decided it would be better to take mom to her house. The fever is broken but she is still in a lot of pain and discomfort.

I don't know what I am going to do. If I were a doctor, which I am not, I would worry that her body is shutting down. I mean they discharged from the ICU! She obviously was craving a smoke and did not care how she got out but she was getting out. Now she looks like she is dying. I mean she is hallucinating! 

Just pray for now......
