Grandma's adventure
You can imagine my surprise when Grandma's doctor's office called and asked me to come get her and take her to ER. She had gone for a follow-up blood pressure appointment and was having a hard time breathing and was very cold. He felt she was serious enough, and her oxygen level low enough to warrant being hospitalized. After an EKG, chest x-ray, IV put in and blood drawn, two additional blood draws for cultures, a breathing treatment, and given oxygen, they determined her white cell count was low enough to put her on antibiotics (the chest x-ray didn't show anything significantly different than past ones). After 4+ hours home we came. Hopefully the meds will improve how she feels as today goes on.
