Goddammit. →[More:]

My mom came home from the hospital this evening after 6 days of being there. My dad just left to take her back. Her heart rate was spiking up to 190 every few minutes.

The fucking hospital is an hour away, they left at 10:30, they're going to readmit her. Poor thing, she was so happy to be home.

This whole thing sucks.

Oh honey that's not cool. I hope she can come home again very soon.

Aw geez. That's so very stressful.

It's likely they'll get this under control. Definitely getting her where they know what's up is the right idea. Healing doesn't always progress in a straight line...you guys can weather a few bumps in the road, though it's hard. Keep spirits up.

Oh, pups. I hope this is just an inconvenient pitstop on the road to recovery.

Big hugs.

Aw shit. Wishing you folks well.

Ugh, so sorry to hear that, pupps... :P

But as Miko said, getting well tends to follow an erratic path- hang in there, and HUGS to you and your family.

What they all said. Your mom has definitely been in our thoughts, whatever that is worth.

They'll get it under control mudpuppie. She may need her meds tweaked a bit. Hugs to you and your family. I know how stressful this can be.

Ouch. I'm sorry. That was really hard for Dad, too, getting his heart rate consistent during recovery. I hope all goes well. Take care of yourself.
