Two days ago, my mom went to insta-care complaining of a sore throat and an ear ache. She was told that she had a viral infection and was sent home with some loratabs to take for the pain.
Yesterday, she seem worse so my dad loaded her up in the car and headed off to the hospital emergency room to get her looked at. Several hours and several tests later, we found out that her oxygen level was way low, she was dehydrated and she had low blood pressure. Plus, the CT SCAN showed that she has a bad bacteria infection in the back of her throat and in her glands. They hooked up an IV to pump some fluids through her and get some antibiotics going. She was admitted and was told she would be there for a couple of days.
Today, She doesn't really seem to be much better. They ran some more tests and her blood work has come back showing that the bacterial has entered into her bloodstream. This means that the infection is more serious then we thought. She will be treated the same way as she has been: fluids, antibiotics, and lots of rest. But the stay has been increased to some more days.
Cody, along with Clint, Shane and my dad, gave her the sweetest blessing this afternoon. I hope that it will lift her spirit because she seems pretty down right now. We are all praying for a quick recovery. She has given us all quite the scare.
