my sister

Post a new topicby Tamdan on Sat Apr 19, 2008 8:43 pm

She had surgery a year ago to remove part of her left lung. Everything went fine and she was discharged withing 2 weeks. She had been going thru rehab every since. See when they removed her lung the removed part of her clavicle and a parts of the 1st 3 ribs. So she has had trouble moving her left shoulder and arm. Then she was rushed to the hospital on good friday with a brain tumor. They did the surgery on the 26th of april and was discharged 2 days later. She had the staples removed on the 10th and was given permission to drive again. Everything was going great. Then no one could reach her on sunday. My mom went over to check on her and then told me to call 911 asap she wasnt responding. They told us on monday that she had a massive stroke But every day she is getting stronger and stronger. She still cant speak. But she is trying and has said a few words here and there. I am so lost and confused right now and to make matters worse she has a 6 year old son. His father showed up on weds. with the police. He took him away from her friday and I dont think that he is bringing him back. I am so scared that it will crush any progress he has made. Then to top it all off I went to the hospital yesterday and they had the o2 up on her forhead instead of in her nose and it was choking her. When the alarms go off they ignore them. I am having her transferred to another hospital. I just have to wait till monday when the doctor gets back in town. Hopefully she wont have any problems at the hospital she is at now.
