She was due to come home today, but this morning she got sick to her stomach, passed out and they can't keep her blood pressure up. Last reading was 98 / 40. She is also diabetic and even 2 hours after her last meal. Blood sugar was 77.

Hello,
She is going in for hypotension(low blood pressure) and hypoglycemia(low blood sugar. Both are very critical condition to the body. This as to be managed with intravenous fluid and electrolyte correction. She should extend her stay in the hospital. Regular monitoring of the blood pressure and blood sugar is needed.
