Mom is feeling much better this morning!! She had a bath and now she is sitting up and enjoying ice chips!
Felicia is here this morning to visit. She has been studying the cause of mom's episode yesterday...
a. Pain Medicine? Pre-eposide mom was on a constant drip of Diloted. They think this was less likely because the meds and doses never changed. Mom was on Diloted when she visited the emergency room last month. Her pain meds were changed last night at 7:30PM to a local anesthesia called Marcaine.
b. Vasovagal Maneuver? I guess this is when pressure is put on certain organs and nerves when she bend down that could cause fainting. Mom did walk two laps around the nurses station before the episode.
Blood sugar levels have been good...averaging out at 130-120.
They will continue to evaluate and talk with the doctor further today.
She is back! I even think she is planning to take another lap around the nurses' station this morning.
Mom wants me to tell everyone "hi! hopefully see you soon."
