has anyone had a situtation like this. Three days ago my mom had amputation above knee on both leg. she is on pd dialisys and
has sepsis blood . she has very low blood pressure so the meds are keeping it up. she has been off of sedation meds for 24 hrs but has not responded. Help !!!
 
I am so sorry to hear that your Mum is so ill, presumably she is still in intensive care and I am sure that all will be done to help her recover from her operation.
She might still be drowsy and the effects of the sedation and anaesthetic still affecting her, double amputation is a major operation, it will take longer for her to get over that. Be there for her, encourage her, tell her that you love her, hold her hand, human touch is so comforting and important at times like these.

I hope that your Mum and you can move forward and become healthier once more or at least avoid deterioration of complications.
Thinking of you, let us know how things go.

Sorry to hear your story. Hope your mum gets better soon. It's a big operation to go through, and as you know us diabetics take time to get over things.
Keep your chin up and i wish you and your mum all the best.
Let us know how she is.
Take care of youself as, as you need all the strength you can get.
