thejunipertreeWell, my mother is still at the hospital and I don't have a time for when she will be coming home.
Apparently, she has had two blackouts this week. One of them at the pet store and the other at work. Her co-workers nagged her into calling the doctor, who was not available. And his office recommended that she go to the ER.
The ER took her blood pressure, which turned out to be 200 over something or other. Not that the 'or other' really matters, as 200 over ANYTHING is pretty fucking bad. They are also unsure what is causing these blackouts. High blood pressure wouldn't cause a fainting spell, only low blood pressure would. They've given her a CAT scan and an EKG, but nothing has come up so far.
So, she's admitted to the hospital.
Currently, that's all I know.

If you want to call her for any reason, the number is 856-335-1772. That goes directly to her room and the number goes with her as she changes rooms.
