Mom has had such a rough time with nausea and heartburn this week and hasn't been able to keep much down. The nausea was happening so often we thought by now she must be dehydrated from all the vomiting.
After talking with Dr. Warren's office this afternoon, Mom was admitted to St. Luke's. They have run quite a few lab tests and taken x-rays of her chest and abdomen. Thankfully, she does not have another ileus (kink in her bowel), but she was dehydrated and had a fever. She also has a urinary tract infection and fluid on one of her lungs.
The IV fluids have helped her feel better already and the meds given through her IV are helping calm the nausea and heartburn. She ate a bit of food for dinner and kept it down. The nausea meds make her drowsy, so hopefully she will be able to get some rest tonight.
Dr. Warren will assess her tomorrow and depending on how she's doing, she may be able to go home.
Thanks for praying. We'll keep you posted. ;)
