My mom came home from the hospital last Wendesday. I fought with them because I could tell she wasn't well. They kept her one more night. They also stopped antibiotics last friday. Her white count at the time seemed to hover at 14. They think her infection is do to yeast on her butt. My mom does have yeast on her butt or what appears could be, I don't know if they cultured it at all. Its like a haze, however her skin is really dry. Mom's never had a bed sore, I keep up on that, She's been bedridden for 3 years, The last few weeks I couldn't get the red to go away so I thought perhaps they are right.
She still seems sick, I asked her primary to have another cbc done and just as I thought her white count is 17 now.
She needs IV anti biotics, I'm afraid they may have took it upon themselves not to treat her. For now I am trying to figuire what my next plan of action should be.
Fighting the medical profession sometimes is like fighting City Hall. I am compassionate to those who do not choose a vent, I reach out and feel no matter which way one chooses its hard on the family regardless. Mom signed for her own ventilator, and I feel its my responsibility to gaurd her wishes. Its them that makes me think of stopping medical intervention and I hate them for it. My passion has always been medicene, being forced into this position makes me nearly hate everyone of them.
I just don't know what to do.....
