The Sunny Side of Life

Well I am just getting home from Kaiser after being there since 4:30pm. My mom woke up this morning and had a slight sore throat. By tonight she was in extreme pain and could not swallow. I rushed her to the ER and after and X-ray and calling in a specialist, who stuck a camera down her throat, she was diagnosed with Epiglotitis. From what the specialist said it can be very serious and she was lucky she came in when she did.

They admitted her and are going to keep her to at least Monday if she responds well to treatment. When my brother and I left her fever was 103.5 and they were covering her with ice packs to bring it down. The doctors say she should recover fine but I'm asking everyone to please say a prayer for her!! She is the rock of our family and we love her very much!!!

I will update after I visit her tomorrow.
