Your mother has NOT been treated with a well established, evidenced based, "stroke protocol" and that is very important. The mere fact that she has been without an IV access since admission, has had me terrified, son. She has been having chest pain that has essentially gone untreated....at the very least, she should have had serial cardiac enzymes, serial 12 lead EKGs, Troponin levels drawn since admission, which would have indicated if she was having a cardiac issue. She has essentially had nothing done to treat her. From what I think I am understanding from your posts, she is only going to have an EKG done tomorrow....that is absolutely minimal they should be doing for her. But that is good....you do not want them to get into invasive procedures and go way beyond their scope of practice. You call that neurologist tomorrow, speak to him and tell them what has been done, and that you want her moved where she can get the care she needs. Let him know what little has been done, and that she just NOW got an IV started this evening. Be sure you let him know this was not your hospital of choice....it is where the ambulance took her in the emergency, from the initial place. (Jason, tell this other doctor you have a cousin in Houston that works at Methodist Hospital in Fondren CV-ICU and she is the one that got you his name, referred to her by a neurovascular surgeon she works with at Methodist...that will stroke his ego and he will be more likely to accept her as a patient.) He will then tell you what to do if he does accept her.....you then tell her attending you have called this other doctor, and you STILL want your mother transferred asap.....this doctor has been referred by a neurovascular surgeon from Methodist Hospital in Houston Medical Center, and he has agreed to take your mother. You have to be bold and steadfast....dont let him intimidate you. You could OWN that hospital and they would all be working for YOU if something happens to your mother and her chart is audited by a lawyer! You are doing a super job Jason....you just be bold and forthright....dont back down.

Could not agree more with every word Aunt Judy said!!! Tell him Aunt Judy knows her stuff and that the family knows to listen to her when it comes to stoke care and she is just insisting your mom get to him and him alone - whatever it takes. And it is so true. Carla belongs where she can get the fine care she needs from here on out. Why accept less than the absolute best? Her chances of a full recovery lie in the best facility with the best stroke team and protocols and rehab programs.

. Perfect

[Maximo]

I just wanted to clarify that I cannot take credit for the pink PJs being a gift.

Carla is a great friend and has been so supportive of me in my business. I can never thank her enough.

Carla, I am sorry I missed Wordless Wednesday this past week on my blog. This week is going to be extra special, and I pray you will be out of ICU by then and that Jason will be able to bring Yazmin to visit.

[Verbena]

Thank you so much Jason for updating us on your mom. I am glad they finally have a IV in. Stay strong. We you approach them tomorrow. Just remember you have a Yorkie Army backing you up. Carla we are all here for you and Jason. Big hugs to you both

[Buster Brown]

I am glad that Carla is feeling better and there is a little improvement in her care. How nice to have a little Yorkie therapy with the new PJ's. I am sure Yazmin will look adorable in them. I hope everything goes smoothly for Jason and Carla on Monday and she starts receiving the care she needs.

[Maximo]

Monday morning . . . I am thinking of you Carla and praying for good test results today, and answers, so that you can get on the road to recovery.

Dearest Carla, When our health goes down and out of our control we put our life in the hands of Jesus and let Him take over. He will carry you and bring peace to your fearful heart. It is very scary not knowing but He knows and promises us He will be there through it all. Take a moment, commit this whole thing to Him and rest assured you will be cared for, no matter what. My prayers for healing for you. You are precious in His sight just as your little Yorkie is precious in your sight. You are loved. He cares for the little sparrow and He will certainly care for you. Do not fear, rest assured the angels will surround you and His incredible love fill you. Meditate on what Christmas means. You have a Savior, come down here to our earth and He lived and died and has a special place for you and me and I pray our Yorkies too! I send love and prayers and peace to you, sweet Carla. Jesus will never let you down. Trust Him.

Oh thank you for those kind words....it absolutely infuriates me when some body gets ahold of innocent, unknowing, fightened people, and then, regardless of their incompetence, not only do not address and resolve the problem, they may very well contribute to it....just for the financial gain. This is one area I have devoted my life to, BUT the Glory is Gods...He has put people in my path that have graciously enabled me to help not only my own family members, but several others that He makes available to me.....I pray that He moves this doctor at Akron, to help Jason and Carla.....if he thinks there is a neurosurgeon here in our Medical Center (most of our surgeons are very well known) that knows of "little ol' HIM, way off in Akron and he feels moved to accept Carla as a patient out of an ego trip, well, then that will be super, and the "ploy" will have worked! I pray He guides and directs the docs where Carla is now, to allow Carla to be released to people that have the technology and expertise to provide her the care she needs. And I pray He puts His hand over Carlas heart and allows no fear to penetrate her soul. gives her a profound sense of calm and peace. I pray He guides and directs Jason in every move he makes, when Jason opens his mouth, God has the words and thoughts Jason speaks,every decision he makes. It is all in God's hands, as we all know, and we collectively pray that His will be done here.
