So far, my mom is still in the hospital and it's been almost a week now. Her oxygen level was extremely low and her C02 is high (for some reason), but usually people aren't alert when their C02 is high but my mom is; so they're very happy about that.
Basically she's fine and her normal self when I go to see her everyday, if not better than normal because she has pain medication to help her arthritis so she can actually walk without being in pain for the first time in years! All they're really doing now is putting a mask on her to try to get the C02 to come down a bit more (its been coming down everyday) and they're trying to wean her off of oxygen to see how low it will go if she DOESN'T have oxygen hooked up to her.
So she's not critical or anything, I really just wish she could come home because I miss her tons.

Happy she's doing better. I hope everything goes back to normal when they get her off oxygen. Will keep her in my prayers.
jenna2010 thank you! even if she has to stay on oxygen the rest of her life, she's at least going to feel a LOT better and be healthier. When she went to the hospital originally, her oxygen level was at 69, and it's supposed to be in the high 90s. It explains a lot about her not feeling well, being tired all the time, no energy, sleeping bad at night, etc.
