Need your prayers again. I'm not ready to say goodbye

Spoke with the nurse already this morning and the BP is now 161/73.  This is down from over 240 when she went in, so that's a good thing.  Her sodium is low, yet again.  But, the CT scan was negative and all the tests have looked good so far.  Just the sodium down and the BP up.....sigh.  I think that the sodium is because when she doesn't feel well, she doesn't eat and of course not getting the right stuff into her body doesn't help.  Plus her sodium TENDS to get low so we've been having her drink a glass of V8 or tomatoe juice every day and I'm very willing to bet that if she hasn't been eating, she hasn't been drinking her juice either.
 
A RARE side effect of the zoloft he just added last week is extreme hypertension, so it's possible that this has triggered the problem this time.  And there are plenty of SSRI's floating around that she can try....I just hope that he will TRY some others.  I'm so tickled that she's taking the anti-anxiety medication AND an anti-depressent, and we were HOPING that those would help with the BP since she obsesses about it.
 
I have a jam packed day today, and getting up to see Mother is going to make it even more jam packed, but, I'll go up as soon as I make it into town this morning and I will discuss with her changing to MY doc....this isn't something I can force, but it IS something she's been wanting to do.  I don't know if the guy has a personality disorder, or if maybe he's bi-polar and not keeping up with his meds....honestly I've wondered if he is an addict......but MY doc is so great and how they practice together is beyond me because it's the difference between black and white......
 
So far the prayers seem to be working, so sure hope you'll keep them coming.....

I'm so sorry to hear this Glenda. I will keep your mom in my prayers.

Glenda, I'm truly sorry to hear about your mom. But at least things are looking better. I hope things continue to look up for your mom. I'll be praying for you.

That sounds good Glen, we will keep praying you hang in there.

I'm glad that you have some good news from this, Glenda.  Hopefully, you'll be able to switch doctors and be rid of the dual personality doc.  

That's good news the CT scan was negative, and the BP is going down. Hopefully you can switch her to your doc and get everything sorted out. Try to keep a positive attitude, especially around her. Good luck. Prayers and nuzzles coming from across the lake.

I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way Glenda.

Best wishes, to you and your entire family.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers!!!!!!!!!

(((((((((Glenda and family))))))))) Glad to hear the update is a bit better today. [] You and yours are in my thoughts.

I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and your family.
 
I lost my mother when she was 54.  Trust me, no matter how well prepared you THINK you are, you are never really ready.
 
Godspeed and best wishes.

Did manage a quick stop by the hospital....she's really out of it and not terrible coherent, but that could be from the low sodium....dangerously low I'm told.  It was 2AM before my son called this morning.....he was JUST leaving the hospital then, having just gotten her settled into a room.....BP is higher than it was, but lower than it has been....

I'm lighting my candle right now for her...God bless.

Prayers from here.....

Glen, how's she doing now? I'm keeping the candles lit and prayers coming.
