Almost two weeks ago, my mother (81 years old) was going up to the attic to store some luggage and fell when coming back down the ladder. This was despite my step father telling her to not do it, but she is a stubborn woman. Two fractured vertebrae, a fractured skull and two different head bleeds later, we got her settled into Integris Trauma ICU. She has graduated to step down, but has backslid somewhat. She either developed or made worse congestive heart failure (EF is 25-30% for those in the know) and has now tested positive for the flu. Currently the high flow nasal cannula is keeping up, but I really don't like the rate she is breathing at. If I could get some thoughts and prayers for mom, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
