My mother was admitted to St. Jude s last Wednesday with pneumonia. She is 82 and also has COPD and Parkinson s. She was treated with antibiotics and released four days later. She is to continue with antibiotics treatment at her skilled nursing facility for another 7 days. The day after she returned to her skilled nursing facility, she was given a new roommate who has advanced pneumonia and in critical condition. A few days earlier, the doctor at the hospital said that my mother s pneumonia was negative and she was taken out of isolation. Is it dangerous for my mother, who seems to be recovering or has recovered from her pneumonia, to be placed in the same room as a patient with advanced pneumonia?
