Thursday afternoon I received a call from Carol stating she was at Mom Peters house and had to call 911 because Mom developed severe stomach pains. I met carol at the Emergency Room at St. Vincent Hospital. Mom had been admitted and was in a temporary holding room. She was seen by a Dr., given pain meds, and shot up to x-ray dept. As far as they can tell, scar tissue from past surgeries has caused a partial blockage in her lower intestine. So, they moved her into a permanent room (by herself) and have been pumping her stomach for two days now. She has had no food or water to date. Tomorrow they will decide if surgery is required. The pain meds are confusing her memory and thought process, but today she has had no pain meds and seems to be in pretty good spirits. She said she wanted a shower and her hair curled as soon as possible!
