My mom had a kidney stone that caused her to go into septic shock. She also had DKA which they are blaming on metformin.
Tomorrow she gets the stent out, but her CT scan still shows the 3mm stone in the kidney.
I’m worried that the same thing will happen, the stone will get stuck and cause an infection.
And also I read that pulling the stent can cause sepsis to reoccur 😭 I’m so scared.
Has anyone gone through something similar?
My mother developed sepsis, went into shock and DKA from a kidney stone.
They told me she was extremely sick and might not make it. Was intubated and had dialysis once and when she woke up the next day they pulled everything and was sent to a regular room and two days later was released.
To say that I am scared would be an understatement. I’m afraid it’s going to come back, I’m afraid that they released her too soon. How she went to “being the sickest ever” to coming home and saying she feels good is mind boggling.
Anyone else have anxiety for their family member that went through this? I feel scared every single day. (It’s been a few days since she came home) 😭
