[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 339448, member: 2459"] UPDATE: It's now 10:53pm and we just got home a bit ago. The way it stands as of when we left: mother in law is now on a ventilator. Without it, her oxygen numbers aren't where the docs need them to be for surgery. They think there is an issue with her gallblader (swelling and her acid levels in her blood are high) so they are going to do a scope in the morning and possibly surgery depending on what they find. Thus...they need her oxygen up. She is sedated so it shouldn't be too bad for her. Also, they are running more tests becase after being on IV's all day, her urine output is far below what it should be so there is concern about renal function. Poor husband...now he's second guessing his earlier decision to start looking for a nursing home because of guilt. I think this decision is going to be rougher on him in some ways than losing her period. He's also upset because when the doctor pointed to him and told mother in law to say who he was, she didn't know. I reminded him that at that time, her oxygen was down, she was doped up and also didn't have her glasses on. Under the same circumstances...[B][I]I [/I][/B]probably wouldn't have known who he was either. [/QUOTE]
