On april 8th 2021 mom received her first vaccine shot. Over the next few weeks she stopped eating, drinking and urinating. We took her out to hospital urgent care april 28th, her symptoms had worsen . Besides not eating, drinking or urinating, she had slurred speech and was shaking like she had a stroke. Urgent care did nothing, they took her over to emergency room, where they also did nothing but give her fluids and a antibiotics. Yes we told them she had a reaction from the vaccin shot, cause this didn't start till after she got shot
They sent her home. On may 3rd we took her back out to emergency room, her conditions were still bad, still not eating or drinking and going to the bathroom. We told them everything she was allergic too, penicillin, cymbalta, Lyrica, ibphrophen and few others. We also told them she had a reaction to moderna vaccine shot, but yea. They ended up putting a catheter in because she wasn't urinating. It was after 6pm so i had to go home , covid hours. I went back the next day, tuesday, i switched her primary doctor from dr. Miller to dr. Chechett. April and i were both power of attorney, which hospital had vopy of since 2018. I reminded them what she was allergic too. They said they did a echo heart test. They supposedly didn't get the results back until Thursday. The results from that was she had a microcardittes, and no they never even treated it. Dr. Capson told me mom was going to need physical therapy, i told him i did not want her going to a nursing home. He said ok she can do her physical therapy here in hospital. They gave her cymbalta in hospital , which she was allergic to. On may 10th april went out to hospital, dr epp informed her they were kicking her out of hospital, the insurance will no longer pay he said. I begged for her to be transferred to des Moines or iowa city, their excuse for not doing so, i had to have a referral by a docctor there. She was still not eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, partially septic yea they lied. They forced us to put her in a nursing home may 11th. May 17th my Mom had a falling incident at her nursing home and she was taken to the hospital. On May 21st she passed away. While I was at the hospital with my Mom for her last moments, my wife was rushed by ambulance to a different hospital and had to have emergency surgery. She had a cyst on her leg that had turned into a flesh eating bacteria. She has also been dealing with heart problems that they are still trying to figure out. She was out of work for over a month before finally being able to go back. Both events were unexpected and blindsided us. Between my mother's final costs and expenses, unexpected medical expenses and a loss of income of for over a month, we are really struggling to keep up with our daily bills and expenses. Not to mention all these medical bills that keep rolling in. Any help would be appreciated even if it's just sharing. Thank you.
