So on Friday at about 1am(or so) Mom got sent to Georgetown ER. We are still not entirely sure why. It seems that the doctor at the rehab facility saw the report from Mom for the day (ileus and all) and got scared and did not realize that this was the same thing that she has been dealing with for the past 3.5 months. So they sent her off. Luckily while she was there they were able to put her picc line back in. She got back to the rehab place yesterday during the day. It turns out that the staff at the rehab facility was also giving her ice chips. A few ice chips were fine, but Joey got there and she had a 16 oz. cup filled with ice. No wonder her stomach is a big balloon.
We went yesterday to visit her and she was really with it mentally. For the first time in a long time I felt like I was talking to my mom. Of course she was pissed that she could not walk or use the bathroom. And she did not understand why. She went to PT and was able to stand (with assistance) 3 times for about 30 seconds each time which is great. And the PT said that she might start to take steps next week, which is great.
Dad just sent an update and Mom is at Montgomery General in Olney. Apparently Mom is having rectal bleeding and they sent her to the hospital. And did not call Dad. Mom called Dad to tell him, so he is on his way there now. I will post when I have more information. Hopefully she will still be able to go to rehab, because it really does seem to be helping and making her stronger.
