Mum is in hospital, she has been there since about 11.00am this morning. I actually got to go with her in the ambulance over to A&E which is unusual, left A&E at 4.00pm!
When mum got up she was rather breathless, her ventolin wasn't working, actually used the nebuliser that i bought for the first time, even that didn't help, her sats were hovering around 85- 92% (according to the pulse oximeter i bought).
Anyway, mum has an infection, and the first troponin taken was slightly over the normal range, so don't know if she has had a silent MI or if its due to the underlying heart failure or if its just from the infection, suppose we wait until the second one is done in 12hrs.
So she is staying in hospital over the weekend at least, not sure whats happening after that, she is supposed to go into respite on Monday.
