My sister is headed up there in a few hours and we’ll make a schedule, I know it probably sounds shallow but I have to get some sleep before I drop. I’m eating dinner at 3:44 am! Then I’m going back up to confront the doctor when he comes back on duty directly who is not only making the decision but telling three other doctors not to go against his instructions, I don’t know maybe they’re his interns. One of them had agreed with us and he must have over ruled her as she suddenly had a change of heart after speaking with him. A couple of the nurses totally agree with us and have been trying to feed her but she’s so sleepy it’s like she can’t stay
awake to eat. Our Priest is going to see her Monday morning, but depending on what happens today I may call him earlier. I will threaten to call the police or an attorney from the hospital and see what he says.
After that, if you hear of a woman being arrested at a hospital in Syracuse, NY for threatening a doctor, it will probably be me!
God bless you..and your Mom....
You DO need sleep and food for the upcoming fight.. You’ve gotten some great advice on here, including Googling vitals and not taking their word for it. Be a united front, you and your siblings. Stand together for her.
We’ll continue to pray for all if you!
The sleepiness could be due to the diabetes. Can you give her non-sugar pudding, etc.?
Three iv bags? What is going in? Drip morphine?
Do not ever leave a family member alone at the hosptial at any time.
I think it’s admirable how much you are defending your mother. I hope when the day comes, my children stand by me and their father if we ever go through something like this.
Everybody needs an medical advocate, there are so many who don’t. It’s so sad.
