On Tuesday of this week, my Dad had his 2nd test done. His vocal cords are NOT paralyzed, so the doctor removed Dad's trach. Daddy was also discharged from the nursing home on Tuesday!
Hooray! Hooray!
On Wednesday evening, I had to take my mom to the ER. She was having severe abdominal pain. It took all night to get her into a hospital room and the doctors suspect an intestinal blockage. Mom's been in great pain and has had much nausea. Thursday she slept most of the day due to the nausea meds and the pain meds.
Today she was more lucid and did not have the nausea. A step in the right direction. The doctors plan on keeping mom in the hospital over the weekend, to make sure she's o.k. because during the CT scan from the night in the ER, they discovered that Mom also has a kidney stone in her right kidney and it's blocking the tube from the kidney to the bladder. At least they found it and we'll handle it during the same hospital visit!
I get one of them out of the hospital and then the other one goes in! Ugh. Dad has been able to stay at Mom and Dads since Mom and Dad have a houseguest right now. She leaves Sunday, so Daddy will be here Sunday night and probably longer.
Maybe my sibling will come help out. We'll see.....

Oh my. Remember to take a few minutes for yourself. Caregiving is really overwhelming.
You are in my prayers.
