Hospital trying Bipap procedure tonight to get the last of fluid out of lung for my Mom who turns out to have Pulmonary Edema NOT pneumonia. All the ~ma you can spare for success please - and if successful for good results so that she can eat again. Loss of appetite is resulting in starvation diet- she won't each much. Can't stand food with how sick she is. And since getting rid of fluid critical no continuous IV, though she is getting protein injections. So far the limited menu of things she will eat is eggs (about three or four a day) apple sauce, in which she will tolerate protein powder and boost magic cup vanilla ice cream (9 grams protein 38 carbs and about two fat exchanges) twice a day. Growing weaker every day even though she breathes better as fluid level reduced. Kind of critical that this succeeds, becasue she needs to get over the illness so she can recover from the damage done by exhaustion and malnutrition.

She's stable, but we don't know if she'll be okay yet.

She keeps getting better but still has a breathing tube so she can't talk. She seems like she's aware of what's going on, not sure how her motor skills are as they had to tie down her arms to keep her from trying to remove the breathing tube. Earlier her motor skills weren't very good. She was sound asleep when we went home which is good. I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.

Thanks for the support. It's starting to look like she's going to come through ok.
