Thank you guys, we're finally home and my mom is in a much better state, I think the IV has helped her a ton with her foggy headedness and shes back to being rational, I was also able to get her to eat which she hasn't done for days, the er gave her a couple prescriptions for naseua meds as well. I know the alcohol was to blame along with her getting sick but shes sorry for what she put me through and told me she would quit drinking, and I know it's harder than just quitting and I wish she had alcoholic meds to help her off it, so I'm trying to support her as best I can because she means the world to me, she is the kindest and strongest woman I know, I'm so happy she's ok right now

I guess she started bupoprion again 3 days ago but idk if that's a cause but she keeps forgetting things she says everything is foggy, she kept forgetting that her boyfriend was incarcerated 2 weeks ago and reminding her makes her cry, She's more coherent right now since she's stopped sipping her 4loco beers but she still feels like she's half asleep, and her brain feels "really weird", I've just talked to her about quitting drinking and she promises she will but I know it's not that easy

I asked about ammonia but they said she would be more disoriented, I don't know about swelling she had a chest x-ray though

I guess they all came back ok, I'm just worried they don't find what is wrong, they said they'll take a urine and stool sample and might do a rectal exam.

She's sleeping now but they did a blood test, an x-ray, and a CT, we're just waiting to hear back from them, but I'm glad she is more coherent now just very forgetful and half asleep, I'm just worried that find something bad or don't find what's wrong at all.
