My mom has had increasing difficulty breathing throughout today. The pulmonologist is putting her on bi-pap but thinks she may need to be intubated again. Right now he is discussing this with the nephrologist who is trying to get her kidneys functioning well and her electrolytes balanced. There are competing needs going on within her body and the caregivers are working to balance these so she can improve.
She comes in and out of awareness and is able to follow what I say to some degree. She cannot speak though, and it’s difficult to know how much she is comprehending.
Asking God to balance the electrolytes, strengthen the kidneys, draw the fluid from around her lungs and increase her level of consciousness so that she can talk again soon.
