Dad called me on Friday around noon saying that Mom was on her way to St. Vincent's Hospital. Seems she had been getting increasingly weaker over the previous two days, which culminated in her falling in the bathroom and being unable to get back up. The paramedics were called when she was too weak to sand again and she was taken to room 923.
The doctor observed her and seemed to give her clearance to go home Sunday morning, and she looked good when we saw her on Saturday (if a little tired and spacey), but when I called today to find out what arrangements had been made for her release, Dad said the doctor asked for her to stay another three days. Seems she actually chose to get up and go to the bathroom unaided in the night and fell. Details are unclear, but the doctor feels that this continuing impulsive behavior is going to lead to more injury if it continues, so he wants to do more observation and testing to see what the recommended next steps will be.
