Thank you, all for your thoughts.... But we didn't get to exhale.
She is home now, but we have been to an urgent care yesterday morning, and were then sent to Salem Hospital for Dani's mom. Had gained 4# in two days , legs were swollen and had a bad cough that was much worse than on Friday. So she was "admitted", to the private ER accommodations, which is being surrounded by curtains... Lung infection. They are seeing viruses come through the door they cannot even identify. But she tested negative for Covid, RSV, and pneumonia. Had to stay overnight as her heart rate was high. Once she was asleep, with some help, I picked up Dani to get some sleep. It was after midnight. There were 33 people there waiting for a bed upstairs to be fully admitted! Dani pushed, with the PCP to get her mom discharged to us to continue care here, rather than around so many sick folks.... But she is home. And they both said there were a lot of elderly waiting in there, alone... I guess it is the same everywhere. So best that you do not get sick!
