wow, what a scary experience for your mom and your family! I'm glad to hear that there seems to be hope in terms of treating it so your mother can get back to a better quality of life.
Thanks for this really informative post!
Lene,
It was definitely scary the first time my mom was in the hospital (ICU). The doctor and nurses didn't tell us until later just how close to being in serious trouble my mother really was. She was very lucky.
We will see if this does the trick over time. Hopefully my mother's blood levels will stay in healthy ranges. Between retirement (as of the first of this year) and these procedures, my mom is doing much better than she was this time last year.

Lisa,
I have fingers and toes crossed for your mom! I am sorry she, and you, have to go through all of this and I hope that in time she will be able to live a quality of life without having the need to go to the hospital. In the meantime, you are in my thoughts. Please keep us posted.
Best,
Cathy
P.S. She is blessed to have a daughter like you by her side...
Hi Cathy,
My mom has been doing noticeably better since this 2nd procedure. The doctor treated a bit more area than he did the first time and she could tell the difference. This coming Friday is procedure #3. Fingers crossed that this will significantly help to fix this one thing. :) My mom needs her energy....she's helping me at every step of the way for this wedding-planning business.
