Saturday Morning
Dad sat with Mom all night long. Bert was with him until they closed the waiting room and kicked him out. They only allow one family member from 10:30pm till 7am. I crashed at Rotary House then called at 1am. Mom was a bit better after receiving the blood. Her color was better and she was responding a bit. Dad assured me that he was Ok so I took over at 6am. At some point in the night her carbon dioxide got too high and they had to put her on "forced air". It's a mask that that forces air into your lungs. She is out of it and continues to try to pull off the mask. So one of us has to sit with her and make sure that she does not pull it off. She is still producing very little urine.
