This week started off pretty awesome but ended on a low. Mom's back was hurting on Thursday and impacted her ability to communicate and self care. She essentially shut down. She wasn't able to speak, eat, drink nor walk. On Thursday night her breathing was getting worse so I decided to call the on call nurse and they advised that we bring her to the ER. When she breathes there is an audible whistle and her ability to take in a breath is slightly labored.
We arrived at the ER shortly after 9am and wasn't discharged until a little after 5pm. The doctors ran a lot of tests and were not able to find anything wrong with her heart, lungs, urine nor lab results so were sent home with a recommendation to request a sleep study for sleep apnea.
2 ER visits about 5 weeks apart is not a good thing.
