We were told after she had a terrible fall while on Vacation that the CAT scan showed large nodgials on her liver & lungs. She had a M.I. 10 months prior and nothing was said then. We brought her home (from Fla) to a Nursing Facility on Roxynol every 2 hours thinking that she would'nt live long. At the home she became mentally very alert and the home (in NJ) suggested that "Mom is in really good shape except for the breaks" and at that we were focusing on trying to get her well enough for home!! The biggest problem is that Mom has had bouts of Dry Heaves and no appitite for months & Months. NOW.... It is all the time. We want to address that so we can get her eating and strong enough to come home, but now we cannot get any answers from anyone. Her Dr ordered Tests on Sat night and on Momday I asked if we can get them ordered early since this is a holiday week. By wed morning I had to leave a message for the Administrator because noone will communicate OR order the tests. Then they said her Dr put the tests on hold, and sail that she wpould end up having to have a scope or biopsy. If she is that bad and treminal, why cant someone just tell us???

I'm sorry this is happening, as it shouldn't and I really had to be relentless in my efforts to get a hold of the doctor personally. Also, try the social worker at the facility if you haven't already. Someone needs to help you with this.
Wishing you luck - so frustrating. Take care.
