Update on Mom.

Thought I had better give you an update on Moms condition.  The last time I made an entry she had had a very bad night.  Since then she has been doing progressively better. We figured out that it was the vitamins she was taking seemed to be reacting to her medicatons.  I took the vitamins away and she improved.  I am totally in charge of giving her medication now.  She still has some memory issues but nothing like it was the night we had to take her to the hospital.   I hope I never have to experience that again.  I have met with her doctor and we had a discussin about the issue.  Needless to say the doctor was not exactly happy with me!. 
We have had mom living with us since the first incident.  She might be able to go home later this week if she continues to do better. 
   I was surprised that when I took her in to have her cumidin tested that she had went ahead and told the doctor there everything that had happened.  I am very proud of her for doing so, and I have told her so.  I do not use the kid glove routine as I nee to make sure she understands how seroius this whole situation is.  She knows that the hospital wanted to commit her into a dimentia ward.  She now understands that it was a mixup with her medications that caused this.  We have her on a pretty regular eatng schedule and medication cycle and that is just how it is going to have to be from now on. 
I am just glad that I am here ad able to assist her.  I will wrte more soon.
I promise

I am so glad to hear this. I've been thinking about her, and the two of you.

You are the best for keeping up on her, and for fighting for her best interest.
