I just got a call that my mom is in icu. She has been sick for a long time but the drs. don't seem to do much for her. Hopefully she will get better care there. I don't know when i can go see her, we live a couple hrs away. I don't drive and dh is at work over an hr. away. I was told not to come now, they are just evaluating and watching her. But last year when my dad was in icu, i didn't even get told until he was so bad he was on oxygen and couldn't talk anymore! I was only able to go stand by his bed and hold his hand a few times because my step mother and her children wouldn't come out of the room to let me and my sister in to see our dad! I don't want that to happen again. My step fathe is supposed to call my sister when he gets to the hospital this morning.

Please pray for her!

Oh, :hugs

Bring a small overnight kit when you go, toothbrush, snacks, water, change of shirt and undies, etc. I have spent overnights in ICU waiting rooms, and the nurses turn a blind eye to visiting hours and will come get you in the middle of the night if you tell them to. They will even tuck you in with a blanket on the couch....and you won't regret it. If you can manage it.

:hugs Hope everything turns out ok for your mom. If there is hogging going on of the time allowed in the room let the nurses know & they can kick some out so you can go in.

Your mom is in my prayers. I hope that you are right and she will get the care she needs now.

Stay strong!
