Back in the ER...Admitted to Hospital

For a hospital that treats primarily in an outpatient setting...we have stayed several nights within!!!!  Mom had an appointment this afternoon with her internal medicine physician.  It was an initial visit so we all thought we would be in and out...well, her INR (coumadin-blood thinner related meds) was elevated past the point that the would let her go home...it was straight to an ER room.  She was also having some major behavioral issues...those who have talked to her over the past 3 days know what I am talking about.  I kept explaining to the doctor, nurse, etc...she's friendlier, nicer, more talkative.  You know, if you know my mom that this isn't really her!  Seriously, anyway, we found out that it is probably one of the new meds we had put her on!  We don't ever want to do that again!!!!  So we are weaning her off of that and hope to get that back to normal. She will see a cardiologist tomorrow regarding her atrial fibulation and they are trying to see why she is still throwing up and can't eat...I'll keep you posted.
