Hi
So I recently posted about my widowed mum who was struggling with the sudden death of my dad. Basically she was struggling emotionally and physically and I was visiting weekly to help with housework and fill the fridge for her. Last week I visited and she was convinced she had something wrong with her and was dying, I called an ambulance and she went into hospital. They said she had low sodium which could be causing the confusion but despite being on a drip and them saying it's increased she's still the same mentally. She does have Cerebellum Atoxia which causes mobility and coordinating issues but they have no information on this, just the diagnosis, despite her originally going into that hospital. They're trying to discharge her with 2 carer visits a day but I don't feel they've really found out what's wrong and I can't believe they're not exploring her condition further. I really worry that her being alone for 12 hours at a time is dangerous. It is just me available to visit but I live 30 miles away, work full time and have my own family. I'm really fighting to get her the right care and for the hospital to really look into treatment, if any, but it's so exhausting and stressful, part of me just feels like stepping back, I'd never abandon her but I'm ready to accept what will be, will be . Any advice on where to go from hete would be much appreciated.❤️

This is a global forum therefore we need to know where you're located so that other participants from your country can weigh in with appropriate suggestions.
And the truth of the matter is that your family MUST come before your mum. And if she is any kind of a decent mum she already knows that.
I hope things go well when your mum comes home, and if it doesn't, then you'll have to look into getting her placed in the appropriate facility on her dime, not yours.
