Bad News… :(

August 31st 2017 4:15pm

I know this is a pretty different post from my last one and it has been a few months it is now August, but my grandmother unfortunately landed herself in the hospital because she started experiencing shortness of breath. My mom took her to the hospital early in the morning because it really started to bother her and they basically told her that she had been taking her lasix incorrectly. For those who do not know, lasix are basically a pill that she was given by her cardiologist to help prevent fluid from building around her heart. So it is a pretty important medication and she had been taking it once a day when she should have been taking it twice. I am pretty disappointed for a couple reasons 1. because I hate to see my grandma not feeling well, but 2. my mom is convinced that Dr. McGuire had originally said the wrong thing. My mom was at the appointment when he told her abou the lasix and she said that he told her to only take it once a day because she was doing so well. I do not know who is correct really because it is a matter of he said she said, but I am more inclined to believe my mom because but idk, all I know is that this should not have happened. The good news is that since she changed the way she started taking the medicine she is already beginning to feel better, and the doctor at the hospital idk his name said she should be able to go home by tomorrow, so that is pretty exciting.
