For those of you who wanted to know, the meeting with the doctors went better than I had anticipated. There were some points brought up that could have been possible and others that weren't. There are still some "what if" questions I feel that can never be answered because it wasn't done and I don't feel that they know. I don't think doctors know everything and sometimes they are wrong. So now I'm even more confused about how I feel and all I know is that she suffered and they did fail no matter how you look at it because she did die.
I did not relent, cry, or get angry. I stayed neutral and smiled. Basically, they really don't know how I feel. I asked for a copy of my mom's records. She said they could be costly - but said she would see if she could get them at no charge. I think that is the least they can do with all that's happened!!
I think it is only fair since they wouldn't let me record or get an official copy of their report.
I'm just glad that they did follow through with it and that I felt like I did stand up for her. I am not going to do anything else at this time because I really need those records and I don't want someone to start changing things in them and may need them if I want to pursue something more in the future.
All in all, I'm glad that the nursing issues were addressed and that they will be making some changes. It still doesn't change the fact that she died, that they couldn't figure out what made her deteriorate so fast, and that I miss her more than ever.
