Posting for traffic, sorry.
My mother is in her sixties, type 2 diabetic and some other health issues. She has been sick with nausea, fatigue and shortness of breath for a couple of weeks. She tested for Covid and it was negative but began feeling worse a couple of days ago. I only found this out because my aunt called to say she had been admitted to hospital (I expect she didn't want to worry me). They suspected she was severely anaemic, this was confirmed today but she has lost two thirds of blood and her liver is deranged. Does this mean liver failure? She is getting a transfusion and is on antibiotics and oxygen. She has texted me but too out of it to talk. No visitors allowed and we are two hours away and we don't drive.
I'm really distraught. I feel like this is it and she won't come out of hospital. Has anyone experienced similar? I have a feeling she isn't telling me how bad it is (the message she sent didn't mention her liver, but my aunt texted me to say this). My aunt is on standby to take my mum home to stay with her and she was the one who took her to the hospital.
I don't really know what to do. I lost my father suddenly 15 years ago, though my mum and he were split up since i was a child. My mother raised me single handedly. I lost my mother in law to cancer a few years ago. I'm finding it hard to be positive right now.
