Started 10pm last night.Watching TV thought I heard a noise.Must be one of the dogs I thought but no it was Maureen flat out on bedroom floor.She could not move so I had to lift her from floor to bed.Done my back in the process
Maureen was "not with it" very confused with temp of 39.5C
Called ambulance.She was in emergency all night (me and my daughter stayd with her till around 6am.They think urinary infection but not sure.Temp is down tonight to 38.1 and she is able to hold a conversation.Went back up to Hospital about 2PM till 5PM
Had my tea now about to catch up on lost sleep
Here is hoping tomorrow will see a lot better improvment
 

Oh dear you have had a hell of a time, poor Maureen seems to cop it left right and centre, and you have done your back trying to help her, well it looks like things are improving with Maureen which is so good, it must have given you a fright. {{{hugs}}} to you both
 

So sorry to hear about your experience. I know exactly what you're went through. Every time my mother gets ill I go into panic mode.
 
Sorry you've had such a bad night, good that there has been an improvement with Maureen though and hopefully you will find a huge improvement on your next visit. x

Just an update

Maureen is still in hospital but feeling much better.Fever has settled and temp remains down.Getting her ready to discharge (physio etc) Getting tired ourselves travelling back and forwards to hospital every day !!!!
Some sort of urinary infection and apparently some sort of slight narrowing where they last removed a liver stent.Were treating her for VRE which she had previous but now ruled out.Some sort of super bug which she was quarantined for.Hopefully know more tomorrow as no public holiday and Dr's are back
 
Thanks for the update Phants, that's great to hear she is improving but no fun for you all being in hospital for Easter, if she behaves herself she won't be in there much longer, you look after yourself Phants try and get some rest
 
Glad she's feeling better, those superbugs are scary business too! My mother in law used to get many urinary tract infections until she started drinking unsweetened cranberry juice regularly, it's very effective to avoid them or treat them as they come on. Maureen is in my thoughts, hugs to both of you.
