^^ I'm hoping for the best for your mom.

when my Dad was hospitalized, he had bacteria in the blood.....the first thing the doctor said was "do not search the internet......because..................."....my Dad had a temperature of more then 104 F...which is dangerous and blood pressure was 250/120.

but now he's at home and i take care of him !

also, i dunno how it is in the States, but you need to have at least one family member there at all times because when I was with my dad, i watched the other elderly ppl get neglected by the nurses/staff..........so I had to keep things up to date....you have to make sure you're on there minds so that they dont forget you and end up on the back burners.
