UPDATE;
Mom is home from the hospital. Still weak, but her spirits are good. I will keep you all updated.
Thanks so much to all of you for your prayers.
I agree. My mom has so many different doctors, (just in her GP practice) and I worry about that. Seems they just go on what they read on a chart.
My daddy had COPD and we took him to a lung specialist in Cincinnati (about 90 miles away). He saw him in Feb. 2004, and in May 2004 daddy had passed with lung cancer, which had spread to the liver. He died about 6 weeks after his diagnosis. I think if the specialist would have not blamed his symtoms on his COPD, daddy may have been diagnosed sooner, and possibly had better options, rather than none.
Unfortunately, that is about where my Dad is--I just pray that he maintain his dignity to the end...
Prayers for your Mom continuing.
