Llamalover47, yes my mother did have high blood pressure similar to mines. When she had her broken leg last year, the hospital treated her for it. She was in the heart ward for half the time. Not sure now what meds they used, but her blood pressure has been fairly normal since. I still have high blood pressure, and I am on losartan to keep it under control. I still have spikes in the 180s but it settles down to around 150 .
My mother is still in the hospital for the pneumonia. They did a drain of her lungs today. I am still worried if her mental state will be normal after this. She is unconscious most of the time. Doctors and friends are saying to let her expire in the hospital rather than at home, it is that bad.
The hospital is doing a lot of test on her blood. They are correcting her sodium and now potassium levels. They found she had rectal bleeding today and are checking that at this moment.

HiBPguy: I will pray for your mother. When your profile said that you were caring for your mother with a stroke,  I  became concerned.

Thank you, thank you everyone for your kind words and prayers. My mother passed away tonight. There was a complication that happened when they drained her lung. My family had gathered around her just before her death. It was a tearful moment.
