Another tough week

This week started badly and has just got a whole lot worse. I started the week with a bug and didnt eat for 48 hours. After recovering from that i got a scare on Wednesday when i couldnt get hold of my mum. As a diabetic she needs to really be careful with her diet and is a constant worry. I finally tracked her down and found out she had been out for lunch. Panic over. Then on Friday at about 6pm Dave phoned to say he couldnt get hold of mum. As it was a time she should have been home he headed out to Inverurie to see if she was ok. He phoned me at 7pm to say she was asleep in what seemed like a hypo state. After an hour of trying to get her to drink lucozade he phoned the G Docs. They decided to send an Ambulance. When they arrived they sorted out her glucose levels but she hadnt changed. They didnt think she had had a stroke but took her into A & E immediately. I arrived at 9.50pm. When i seen her she was lying breathing very heavily with her eyes not focusing and she wasnt responding. After talking to the nurse the next possibility was an overdose. She had been prescribed sleeping pills from the doctor when my dad died and her symptons were similar to those of an overdose victim. Dave had noticede the packet was empty, but when she had tried them she complained they made her groggy and she wasnt going to take any more. After two hours in A & E with no improvement they took her to a ward. When we got to see her she looked like she was sleeping. We left her for the night with more questions than answers.
Today i phoned to be told there was no improvement. When i visited she was more aware of her surroundings but she still wasnt responding. They then decided to take her for a scan. She came back with no sign of bleeding or clotting. So no stroke then. As the day passed there was very little improvement in her condition. It broke my heart to see her this way. Her eyes looked lost like a small child. We spoke with a psychiatrist as the possibility of an overdose was still real. We discussed my father passing and the impact it has had on mum. She felt an intentional overdose seemed unlikely, but an accidental overdose possible. We left to get some food. We returned to the hospital around 5pm and spoke to another doctor. She said it was hard to find what the source of the problem was. Her levels of insulin intake was very low which could indicate the diabetes was a problem. It could be she went hypo and suffered a siezure. It could also be she took too much insulin, and possibly along with the sleeping pills sent her into her current state. We just dont know. We do know she wont have recovered by tomorrow. This could be a slow recovery. There could be permanent brain damage, it may be temporary. I think it will be a while before we have some answers.
Tomorrow i have to phone the doctor in the morning and then will go up to the hospital for the day. Work schedules will need to be changed. I think i might have a pray tonight!
The diet, NLP, fitness schedule, all out the window. That needs to be addressed. But not tonight.
