Thoughts and prayers please

[DDH]

I got home about 8:45 this evening after spending the day in the ER with my mom. Her home health aid found her face down on the floor today about 12:30 and she was incoherent and basically out of it.
They took her by ambulance and her aid called me about 1:30 and the the hospital calld shortly after so I could come up and fill out the paperwork since she was unable.
When I got there she was still out and they couldn't seem to wake her up. She was thrashing about some in the bed and was making noises as if she was having bad dreams. I was a little taken back, but the doctor said the CT scan was okay and her vitals were okay, so they were just kind of waiting.
Anway, long story short, about 6:30 they came in to take more blood and she kind of responded so I asked her if she was going to finally wake up. She said yes. She doesn't remember what happened and the day is kind of not there for her, but she was responsive and ate supper and seemed okay by the time I left. She was still a bit woozy, but I guess that is to be expected.

She has been on a pain patch called Phentinol (sp?) and they think that something happened with that, causing her a reaction or an overdoes.
That is all they could come up with.
She is 70 and not in the greatest of health so it scared me a bit, but she seemed okay. I will be back up there tomorrow as soon as I can to take her some clothes and hopefully talk to the doctor.

Please send good Karma, Prayers, good thoughts or whatever you like that will help. I would greatly appreciate it.

Healing thoughts going out.

DDH: I hope all goes well. Fentanyl is the patch you are talking about -- it can deliver unpredictable amounts if it is in contact with heat (will increase the delivery), but also each individual absorbs it differently. So maybe this will be the simple answer to what may have happened to her. I hope all comes out okay for you all.

Hope she's feeling better today. And if it was her meds, hope her Doc can get it worked out so this doesn't happen again.

I'll be keeping you and your Mom in my prayers.

Awww DDH...hope things go OK. Those patches can be a bit unpredictable. I'll say some prayers, cross my fingers AND my toes, and hope it all gets straightened out.

Thanks so much girls. The doctors haven't come in to see her yet today and they have not run any more test, so I guess they are just watching her.

The haven't released her so I have no idea how long she will be in there.
I have an organized ride on Saturday to attend since my last one got rained out, and I know this is terrible but I hope they don't pick Saturday to release her.
She seems to be fine now. Like nothing happened. She doesn't remember yesterday to much, but hey, I don't think I would want to, besides she slept through most of it.

Thanks for all the well wishes, butterflies and prayers.
