Welcome to Mom's Blog

My frustration with the medical community is growing rapidly. My aunt is recovering from her initial issues that landed her in the hospital. Unfortunately, now she has pneumonia. I talked to her this evening and she still sounded better than she has in weeks, but she still needs some recovery time. I feel the doctors should have seen this coming and been able to lessen the damage.

They did a bone marrow aspiration on her yesterday and they said it showed improvement. Her EKG and some blood work have come back normal too. The last time we went to the doctor was last Monday and she saw the physician’s assistant. I think he may have missed something, but she probably isn’t easy to diagnose. She tends to tell the whole laundry list of health problems, instead of the issues pertaining to this visit.

Oh well, she likes her doctors. I don’t have to like them, but I will make sure they do right by her.
