My mom suffered from 2 ruptured aneurysm's in June 2012. She surpassed all the possible effects up until Oct 2012 where she had a infection which set her back. Then a week later her dilantin levels went toxic. Now she is having complications with tube feeding formula. She useto talk and was cleared to start eating,now we get nothing. It has been since end of October that we had seen great hope. She looks unhappy and we are thinkong to placce her with a facility to hopefully push her a bit for stimulation and PT,OT and ST. She obtained a stage 4 bedsore while her 3 1/2 month stay at the hospital,we have since been dealing with that. I find myself losing hope when I don't see progress that she wasonce making. She is only 56 and is a fighter,but sometimes I see the fight might be to much for her. I just pray and cry in between prayers. From the release of the hospital they said she was not a rehab candidate for rehab. I just wanted read some words of hope,others that have been through the high and lows. I am trying to stay postive but sometimes it takes so much energy to keep it up when I see my mother like this.
I am so glad you shared this story...Hang in there and Keep the Faith...~ pray for what is best for your mom...

Thank you for prayers....I know it's a long road I was okay with the time, I just can't take the bumpy ride that is putting our family and my mom through!!!
Will keep her and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please remember to take care of yourself. It’s important that you & your family get the rest you need so you can be there for you Mom. Hoping for better days for you both.
hi there! my heart goes out to you being in the same predicament- i dont understand the rehab/therapy stuff either- they plateaued me!! refusing any more therapy. But we must think positive-she is young and she is a fighter. i'll keep her in thoughts and prayers!
Than you all! As I write she is currently in the hospital for yet aanother infection,but she is in good spirits! Once they get the upper hand and control the revolving infection door she will be well on her way. When she feels good we get the best from her but these infections knock her down..physically and cognitively. I thank you all for prayers and words of encouragment. I have learned alot but feel this process for me and her will be a continous learnig process!
Thank you so much for the update...~ You and Mom are in my prayers...~ Colleen
