My mom has had COPD for about 7 years now. She lived almost the last year with 15% lung function. She also has congestive heart failure but the heart doctor wasn't too concerned. She's had extremely swollen legs/feet the last week and a half. Her Lasik was increased but it hasn't been doing anything.
She was up early this morning, she always came upstairs and sat while the kids got ready and out the door. She said she had a terrible night. Me being my usual rushed/late self, I didn't ask her how it was a terrible night.
We chatted over hangouts until 9:55am. At 1pm I asked her how she was doing but she didn't answer.... I knew her tablet hadn't been giving her my notifications lately.
My husband and my kids always get home at the same time each day, but my husband stopped to get gas.. My daughter went to see what grandma was doing a few minutes after getting home from school and found my mom on her back on the bathroom floor.
The paramedics believe it happened quite recent, and they believe it was a heart attack.
I wish I found this forum 7 years ago .
