Yes, I am back to hospital. I visited home in evening..took a shower, packed all that I need till tomorrow evening to be here and had my home cooked dinner. Good thing is that I bought my laptop with me so that I can work on workshop on Thursday. My husband stayed in hospital after coming back from office in the evening while I went home. Luckily the hospital is within 2 km from my house. Now I sent my husband back so that he can have a good night sleep as he has a busy day at work tomorrow. I have also dropped my help at home so that she can be of help in kitchen for making breakfast and lunch for my children and husband tomorrow morning. She also needs a good sleep tonight. She has been awake last two nights to take care of mom in law. So I am back here all set to stay till tomorrow evening. Husband will stay here tomorrow night as he is working from home on Thursday and I need a good sleep tomorrow for my workshop on Thursday. Mom in law is showing improvement. She has got one dose of iron injection and the second dose will be administered tomorrow morning. The hospital couch is not so comfortable but I don't mind it after a tiring day. How is the day treating you today??

My mom in law is kidney patient. Her electrolytes got imbalanced and she had very low hemoglobin. So she was wobbly and unstable and we had to hospitalize her.

@Nevena83 She is much better with two doses of intravenous iron injection. We are hoping to take her back home by tomorrow evening.

In your country, does someone have to stay with the patient or do you just want to be there with your mother-in-law?

@arunima25 Thank you for that information. In Nepal, it seems much the same. Someone has to stay with the patient.

They want one attendant from family to be there with patient. Only in ICU, they allow to visit for few minutes. We have visiting hours for other people. There is an attendant card which is going in turns between me and my husband.
