So glad to hear that your mil is improving. Thanks for the update Judy.

We found out that when my father fell, that was the reason, UTI, it seems that older people get a UTI, and if affects their brains and ability to stand and walk. Go figure. But glad to hear everything will be back to normal. Will they be able to make suggestions on her not having this happen again? My father got a walker, for steadiness, and that seemed to help. Prayers are answered....relax a little and breathe!

Just talked to sil. Mil has 2 subdural hematomas but they have gotten the bleeding stopped and say the clots will be re-absorbed into the body so that problem is under control and they don't forsee any lingering brain damage. They have determined that the reason she fell in the first place is because she has another UTI like she had back in Sept of last year when we almost lost her and they also think she has a bowel infection. Running more tests.
