Raquel, Lawanda and Maria and Millie (90 yrs) -- caregivers at Dolan Residential Care CenterHad a big scare over the weekend. Got a call from the administrator of my mother's residence saying she was shaking and would not get out of bed. I said don't do anything until I get there. 45 minutes later I was standing there saying call 911 for an ambulance. She had involuntary muscle spasms in her face and arms. That began a 6 hour odyssey in the ER of the closest hospital. She had all the conventional tests done. It was not a stroke and no reason was given for the spasms except a possible reaction to a drug she has been taking. It was finally decided to admit her to the hospital for observation overnight. .........Fortunately after a Parkinson drug was administered and an antibiotic for two infections, the spams stopped sometime in the night. .... The attending Dr. released her to go home. Almost a week later, she is fine and doesn't remember a thing. What an ordeal though. She is fine now. Thank heavens.
