You never realize how many people care about you and your family until something hits close to home. My mother was rushed into the ER Friday afternoon with severe metabolic anemia, possible internal bleeding.
2 years ago she underwent gastric bypass surgery. She's hit 104lbs lost since that day. She's the poster child for bariatric surgery. No joke. She will be posting her pic on the wall soon :)
Mom is not good at taking care of herself, she's so concerned with that hell on wheels 16year old she has at home, she forgets to do what's best for her health. I wouldn't ever wish my mom any other way. This surgery gave my mom another 2 years of life. I believe she was on her way to heart failure if she had not gotten this procedure. She was overweight and unhealthy. For that, I'm not mad about what's now occurred. I'm more so mad at my mother for not doing what she was told and taking her meds the correct way.
Oh lord, here comes the mother out in me. Who knew, right?!
After 3 days in the hospital, I had to bring my toddler back home. A hospital is no place for a rambunctious 17m old.
Mom went into the hospital at 3.8hmg level and now she's at 5.8, even after 4 units of blood. Why is she not getting any higher? Shes scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscope at 8:00am. So...That question i have will be answered tomorrow...
To be continued.
