RE MOM

Well I talked to or sould I say I tried to talk to the nurses this morning about mom and I was told they can't give me ANY info other than she is doing well. She wasn't in her room so they couldn't give her the PIN so she could then give it to me so I could call them back so they could tell me about her info! GRRRRRRR Dam HIPPA!!!!!! I told them they NEVER gave my brother the info yesterday on the PIN so I could have it! I am even on her list incase of EMERGENCY!!! Nurse said "sorry" grrrrrrrrr so now I have to wait til mom gets back from I think her stress test. Nurse couldn't tell me if that is what she was doing either. Sighs...I told her I had a 5 hour drive ahead of me and needed to know how bad this is and she still would not tell me anything!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR this really is ******g me off!!! I called Bill back and told him and he told me not to bother coming home. Hello.....I want to see my mother!!!!!!!!!! So I am not sure if we should hit the road now or wait til we hear from him in an hour or so. I want to leave now. Rick says wait and see. Then he says its up to me...I am lost here!!!

Thankyou to those that posted earlier for all your thoughts and prayers!!! Means so much to me!!! Will keep you updated soon as I can!!!

HUGS

Judy  - sorry to hear that your mother is in hospital.
If I were you, I would wait an hour to hear from Bill about what is going on.
I hope that everything works out well for your mom.

Oh, Judy, I just now read both of your posts.  I'm so sorry, hon.  Praying for your mom and all of you!  Please be careful driving today and keep us posted.

Judy....so sorry about your mom and not being able to get any infomation.
If you feel you should go then go.....my family told me to wait and my dad died.....that still really bothers me and it was almost 30 years ago!!

I am keeping her and you in my prayers!!

Love you much...connie d

Hugs Judy, this is a stressful time for you and your family. I think HIPPA is more hinder than help and I work in a hospital. They totally tie our hands when it comes to releasing information...even when you know it's family and they aren't on the list til it get corrected. Very frustrating.
Have a safe trip and hope your brother calls you soon! Hugs Debbie

Hope all is OK. Take a deep breath and try to be calm before you drive up there (or over there).

I just read your posts, and hope by nowyou have made it to Michigan.  I will be praying for you and your family.

Judy,
Just checked in and distressed to find your Mother is ill.  I hope she recovers and all is well.  Do what makes you feel good as to whether you go or stay.
Hugs,

Do what the still, small voice inside you is saying to you.  I hope all goes well for your Mom and your family,   Mag

Judy,

Hope today finds you knowing more about what is ailing your mom and that it is nothing serious.

Hugs, Laureen
