about to go to the hospital

we are awaiting a call from the hospital in linden.
marks mom was scheduled to come to the nursing home in savannah monday. but as the doc chatted with her monday, he felt the meds were not doing all they needed and changed them again for a 5th time (i think 5 is correct). that meant she would be staying another few days.
then today they learned that she has air leaking in her abdomen. they arent sure if it is coming from her intestines or her lungs. she has also had blood in her stool for a few days and her white blood cell count is elevated. we are just waiting to find out if she is going to jackson or vanderbilt to head out. the kids are staying with a friend tonight. we are all packed and waiting.
i am not medically intelligent about issues i havent had experience with, and this is one of those! i am not sure what will happen next.
