Im sitting here BAWLING...thanks so much everyone. Just being able to talk about it helps.
My mother is not doing well today. She cant keep anything down...not even water. She has lost 10 pounds...down to just about 80 pounds now. Doesnt look good. I just CANT lose my mom....not now...not yet. I still NEED her to be here with me...we lost a lot of years together, when DH was in the AF.
Thankfully my Brother is doing well. He had a very low sodium count...was lethargic...They was able to get that level back up, and he is feeling much better. Thank you GOD. I lost my other brother 8 yrs ago....he was killed in a bad accident. He was a Sherriff in New Bern SC. He and I were connected by souls...so I lost alot of life when I lost him.
My sister is not doing any better. She spiked a fever today...104. They had to bring in a doppler to find a vein to draw blood. They left in a main line, and will be drawing blood every 2 hours to check for infection.
Thunderstorms moved in today....so its cold, wet, and dark....just about how I feel inside.I am trying to be strong....I KNOW deep inside, the LORD will only give me what I can handle...however, I think he has me mixed up with someone else right now.
Thanks everyone, for the prayers, and well wishes...im trying here...really I am...I MUST be strong....for everyone else.

Deb, So much all at once. Your mom - do you feel okay with her docs and care? I nearly lost my mom in the 2006/7 winter with heart attack, countless CHF attacks and COPD. There was a lot of medical error and it was so hard to root it all out, a race against the clock. She lost a lot of weight and the worry was that the continual strain at her age would just be impossible to come back from. After a very long hospital stay she's rallied, but it was a close call. I fervently hope your mom pulls through this. That weight loss - ugh - worrisome. Why do they think she can't keep food down? (sometimes the combo of meds can be very nauseating which means it needs to be changed).I'm wondering what her BNP number is. Please don;t feel like you have to answer nay of these questions. I'm just thinking out loud, the experience with my mom very fresh in my mind and hoping your mom rallies too.
