She is at Vanderbilt hospital.
They are waiting to see what her blood level is before they decide whether she is going to a regular room or ICU.
She is hemmoraging so they are going to do the scope to see exactly where and how serious it is.
Please continue to pray for her.
And pray she will LAY OFF THE BC's!!!
She's been taking 6 BCs and 1600mg of Ibuprofen a day!
GOOD GRIEF!
I will try to update (if Wendy doesn't) whenever I get info.

I didn't call anyone this late...She is still weak, weak, weak...They are full at Vanderbilt and we are waiting for a room...Her blood levels were at 42 a year ago...When we arrived they were 34 and a couple of hours later they were down to 29 and last count was 28...So she is still bleeding but not as bad...She is pretty stable at this point and they just don't know when they will be able to fit her in to have the endoscopic procedure done...If she gets worse they will do it in an emergency fashion, if she stays stable they will do it Monday, yes Monday...I asked was she going to have to wait to eat or drink till Monday and they said we will have to see...Her head is killing her, her stomach is still rumbling from the blood and she looks very pale and weak...They told her NO MORE BC's...She is having rebound headaches from them anyway and it is going to be a long process to get all that completely out of her system...I had no idea she was taking that many BC's or Advil...I also didn't know that she threw up blood 2 more times after she showed me the 1st time...Nor did I know she was passing blood till the next day of sickness...She passed blood 5 times and I didn't know till afterwards...I called the Dr immediately since I couldn't get her to go to ER and he said bring her in now before her GI tract blows...Still won't know till they do the scope how serious the damage...whether gastritis or an ulcer or stomach erosion etc...Keep her in your prayers...They were EXCELLENT at Vanderbilt from the get go...It's the best ER visit I have ever been to...Sorry if anyone didn't get called we were doing the best we could with her condition changing and still not knowing complete answers...She is still in the ER because of how crowded it is at the hospital...They said they take better care in the ER anyway and that she will be just fine till we return tomorrow and for us to go home and rest...Whew... life can change in an instant in the most unusual ways...
I don't care what time it is.. call me with any news. I wont be sleeping good anyway.
Sorry to hear about your MawMaw. I will pray for her.
I am glad to hear that she had a good experience at Vandy :) We aim to please.
Now Mawmaw is your mothers mom right? wow,kinda scary..bc powders and advil can do harm to someone? I hope she gets better soon.
Still praying for Maw Maw!
She's got to STOP taking so many BC..hide them from her or take them out of the house period and instruct EVERYBODY that visits her NOT to bring her BC. We had to do that with Granny Juanita, but her problem wasn't BC, it was cigarettes!!
I really hope she gets better real soon!!
