Mum is in a nursing home, she fell and broke her hip last month and recently had a seizure and was taken to hospital, she's 85.
I spoke with the Dr at the hospital who said they were doing tests but hoped to have her back to the nursing home today, just called them and she is back but the hospital did not send them any discharge papers?
Nurses are having to feed mum and she is sometimes refusing. She's in bed because of her hip.
I live in the States and am frantic.
I have asked the nursing home to contact me immediately anytime day or night.
I just don't know what to do.
Has anyone experienced these same symtoms with their loved one? Can this stage last a long time?
I know though nobody can really say.
If I go to England right now I won't be able to afford to go again until next year as I don't have any family left to stay with so it gets extremely expensive.
I am torn, I asked the Dr should I come right now and he said he didn't think so but the hospital is not the right place for mum, she needs to be at the home.
I'm so afraid I'm going to get a call that mum has gone...and I'm not there...
The manager at the home is truly wonderful and keeps me informed.
What to do??
