[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 339351, member: 2459"] They are transferring mother in law to a larger hospital in the next town over. She DOES have pneumonia but it doesn't seem to be that bad. Her problem is that she has a bladder infection that seems to have spread to her blood stream somehow. It could be affecting her heart and they are concerned with her renal function also. Plus....she normally sleeps and spends most of her time in a day bed in her living room. It's not uncommon for her to not get up when husband goes to give her her medications. Apparently she hasn't gotten up for a couple of days. She's soaked the bed with urine and also has a few bedsores from laying in it. husband is upset and worried. He SAYS he's upset with mother in law for telling him she's fine and doesn't need to go to the doctor or hospital all week but I know he's also blaming himself. He's going to be even more upset with himself because once the docs get mother in law straightened out, husband is going to have to put her in a nursing home. She can't be by herself anymore and is beyond assisted living at this point. He's always said that when that time comes, it will kill her which in turn will kill him. husband is still at home currently. One of his brothers lives a couple of hours away and is on his way. When he gets here they will head up to the hospital. He's debating on staying up there but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the support and well wishes. I'll update as I get more info. [/QUOTE]
