My sister called me this morning to tell me that our mom was taken to the hospital last night with a very high fever and uncontrollable coughing. Tests were done.
She just called to tell me that some of the test results were in and that mom has pneumonia and is staying in the hospital. my mother is a heavy smoker and is terrified of getting lung cancer

I threw myself into finishing my SeSa so I didn't have to think about it.
I'm trying hard not to think the worse but, y'know, she's getting pretty old.
So now I think I'll dive into a certain birthday fic so I can live in denial for a little longer.
This sucks. I'm so far away from her.
I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to cry. I'm not going to- Too late
I live on the west coast in Vancouver, she lives in Ottawa but is in a hospital just south of Montreal right now. (she'd just arrived at our uncle's house to spend Christmas with him and his wife when the fever and coughing started.)
The speed at which the symptoms surfaces is a concern to me.
My sister's been great at calling me as soon as there's news.
Called me as soon as our uncle called her. Called again as soon as he called with the test results.
And she's just called telling me they've put her on oxygen and giving her antibiotics.
She'll call me if there are any changes. I hope mom has a good night.
My sister just called me to tell me that mom's on oxygen and antibiotics.
I don't like the sounds of that. I'm sure the oxygen is making her more comfortable.
I hope the oxygen does its job over night and she's improved some by morning.
no one's mentioned the "FLU" yet ........
I'm thinking of you and your family. This has been suck a horrible year for illness.
:snuggles you:
'm thinking of you too, hon. I hope you hear better news.
{{{HH}}}
On the positive side, maybe this will be just the shock she needs to quit smoking.
That would be nice. God works in mysterious ways?
It's also a glaring message to me about my own disregard for my own health issues.
D, want to thank you sooooo much for the package that arrived.
You're the best! {{{DQ}}}
With all you sweet LJers commenting, I'm coping better than I thought I would.
How are you feeling sweetie? I hope you're taking it nice and slow.
your family's in my thoughts and prayers.
*hugs you tight*
::holds on tight::
Thank you!
They've got mom on oxygen and antibiotics.
I'm hoping she has a good night and is showing some improvement in the morning.
I hope I get some sleep tonight
I'll need a real hug tomorrow.
I hope the antibiotics and oxygen make a difference over night.
I just wish I wasn't so far away.
