Now MY mom is in the hospital

My brother (who lives with my mom) called last night to say Mom is in the hospital. She'd been getting a cold the last few days and yesterday felt so lousy he made her go to the doctor. The doctor put her in the hospital because she suspected pneumonia. My mom tends to get pneumonia every 2 years or so. We were thankful she avoided it last year (and yes, she does get the pneumonia vaccine).

I'm glad it was caught early and the hospital is the best place for her to be. She lives about 2 hours away so unfortunately I can't just pop down there.

If you are a prayer sayer, please say one for my mom. If you're not, please send good thoughts and well-wishes to Naomi. I really believe it helps.

I hope she gest well soon!
My prayers are with her. :( I'm glad your brother can be there for her right now.
That's too bad. Thankfully it sounds like your family is aware of the signs of her getting sick - hopefully she will get better quickly :) .
Hope your Mom feels better soon.
Paula: I am so sorry to hear about your Mom being in the hospital. I hope they caught the pnemonia early and put her on a fast track to getting better. I will keep your Mom and your family in my prayers. :D
:ghug: Please let us know how your Mom is doing, we care!
I'll say a prayer for your Mom, Paula. I hope she gets well quickly. Thank goodness it was caught early. Hopefully, she won't get too sick. Keep us posted.
Wow, 'tis the season, and not the ho-ho-ho kind. The seniors-in-the-hospital kind. :cry:

Paula, I hope your mother starts to feel better and is home soon. It's great they caught the pneumonia early. I'll keep her in my prayers.
Paula, your mom is included in my thoughts and prayers for sure!!
Not another mom who is not well!

How awful for her... pneumonia and even just bad colds make you feel so miserable and sore all over.... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Sending good wishes and prayers that she gets over this soon enough...
Paula,
I am very sorry that your Mom is in the hospital.
But that really is the best place she can be right now.
Hope she feels better soon.
I hope she feels better...
Sorry to hear your Mom is in Hospital Paula, sending prayers she will be back home soon, been a bad time for moms and hospital stays this week, me, nicoles and now your mom. Hope all goes well and they get her well soon. Hugs for your Mom for a speedy recovery.
I'm really sorry about your mom. I will pray for her too.
Hopefully they caught it quickly enough that her stay will be short and she'll be better soon!!!!
Wishing your mom a speedy recovery! Please update us on how she's doing.
I hope your Mom gets better FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ghug:
I hope she's home and fully recovered soon!
Mom is still in the hospital and it is definitely pneumonia. She's on IV antibiotics and saline since she's a little dehydrated. And oxygen. Unfortunately her heart has started beating rapidly so this weekend she's been on a sedative every 8 hours. Her heart rate at least now is below 100. Her cardiologist should visit her today.

She's been sicker before, and recuperated. But we're all still worried and hope she gets better fast. My nephew (her only grandson) will be in town over the weekend of the 11th for his fiancee's bridal shower so she has an incentive to get well. She doesn't want to miss that!

Thanks for all your prayers and well-wishes. It really means a lot to know that people I haven't even met care. Please keep them coming til Naomi gets home!
