Back into Vista Ridge on Monday. I got a call from the Doctor Monday morning about his concern for Mom's in-and-out of the hospital situations. Seems that there is a cycle of bladder/kidney infections caused by this bowel problem (a constriction in the lower colon). When she gets this blockage, she gets weaker, and the infections come back. They are looking at ways to hopefully combat the problem, but it is not something they are ignoring; just trying to figure the best way to handle it. Right now, they are trying to solve the problem by a mild laxative to keep everything moving.
Meanwhile, back at the Vista Ridge, she had only a semi-good day Tuesday, but they got her back on anxiety/depression meds, which really make a difference for her. If you go in to her room and see her frowning- she needs meds. Hopefully, they can get her back regulated on these meds pretty soon.
