Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Through all this and what happened with the Hammacks it puts ones actions and life into perspective.
All I want to do is call my mom and tell her how much I love her. I just hope she can answer the phone on monday. Monday just ain't coming soon enough for me.
Whew, Damn it's hard to write through tears.

4:14 pm back in Pa and I have heard nothing. No one answering phones and the nurses station won't tell me anything until the Dr's tell them something..................
This is where I start to panic right? I hate this f-in waiting.

Yep, they're always like that....I don't think it's panic time, sometimes you just have to wait til the docs get around to telling them what they need to know as well. They don't want to give any wrong info, good, bad, or otherwise. Hang in there....

Wendy, I wish I knew.
No one tells me anything of importance when I call. I called about 20 min ago and got the nurses station. They told me she was "comfortable". I asked what that meant and she said " Honey, the status has not changed. The Doctor will be in later today to see her. Until then there is no reason to keep calling." ( I usually only call 2 times a day ) At that point I asked her name and what her Nursing supervisors name was. Maybe I can convey to the "super" why family members call the hospital. Then he can let all the others little nurses know.
My mother is a M.S.P.R.N. and until last May was D.O.N of a 650 bed nursing home in Lititz, Pa. I know for a fact she has sent girls home for having an attitude like the nurse I talked to today had. I have seen my mother get out of bed at 3 in the morning to go hold the hand of one of her residents while they were dying. Hell, 2 Christmas's ago she brought a 78 yr old woman home with her to have dinner with us.
I just know my mom would die to see what kind of care she is getting from the nurses. Maybe I am jumping to conclusions but I am just going on phone calls and what I saw first hand last May- August. You see a lot when you are at a hospital for 100+ days just sitting, watching, and waiting.
Sorry to rant, it just pisses me off the see and talk to health care workers who know longer mean the meaning of "patient focus".

Mike, sometimes you have to rant to get out the frustration of the situation!
I don't like ill mooded nurses myself, and have more than once been ticked off by medical staff and voiced my concerns to the supers above them.
Maybe you will be able to get better information later when the DR comes in, your family is in our thoughts!
