And Carole was released from ICU on Friday the 13th, with no empty beds in the medical units. So they had to send her home Saturday. Covid is once again, filling the hospitals. She couldn't even hold a pen to sign her name, so weak. We did not expect her to survive.
Her doctor whom Mark spoke with this morning, also did not anticipate survival. And his orders at discharge to stop all meds will be ignored tomorrow. He refused to rescind stating he will discuss that with her when she comes in, no explanation offered to us, or her. Home health is monitoring, she's been home four days! And how long does he think she will last with no glucose control, heart failure drugs, diuretic, along with nine others? Tomorrow home health will be asked to call her doctor for verification of this and entered in their records. And then, family and nurse will discuss return to her usual routine and dosage, none changed or added from what she took before covid or during hospitalization. I am attempting to remain calm. It ain't fricking happening.
I stitched a little sampler. Adorable little sampler. Will show you tomorrow after health report. We are cautiously optimistic for her recovery to continue.
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. She needed them badly, still does.
Her doctor may need a good athletic cup.

OMG I am SO sorry to hear this. Its unbelievable! Just shaking my head in astonishment. I hope you are able to hang in there. xoxo
Huh??? He just decided to stop all her meds when he discharged her?? I don't get that at all...(and hence, most obviously, the point of your post....). Amazing that she is recovering (holding on?) despite the discontinuation of them. Glad you've found a little respite escape in your stitching. Continuing prayers.... ~Robin~
Wow, can't believe the dr stopped all the meds. Praying for all of you!
I have been wondering how Carole is. Drs. sent my Dad home with no meds and he died three days later. That was years ago. That is just plain ridiculous. Praying for her full recovery.
I'm glad Carole is back home. WTF?!?! on the doctor not OKing a return to her regular medications. I hope he has a damned good explanation why.
I admire your ability to keep stitching through all this.
home with no meds?? malpractice???
I can’t believe the arrogant bastard wouldn’t discuss his decision with you. You need to chat with the head of the hospital’s ethics committee and a lawyer. We’re all pulling for Carole.
It is outrageous that this creature should be allowed to play God or call any shots. Carol's spirit seems to be prevailing and we are supporting her and you
with prayer and optimism. Please take care of yourself and give Carol our very
best blessings.....
Our medical system leaves a lot to be desired! Hoping Carole can recover quickly and that all her meds get back on track. Take care, Marly. Thinking of you….Cherie in WI
Sending lots of prayers.

Cann't believe that this happens today.....
Sending prayers and lots of love and wisdom to you all.
Take care Marly ,Truus from Holland
Another one over here shaking her head. Makes no sense. Rooting for Carole and all of you. Too much stress and nonsense.
