October 7
Another day on the E coli killing antibiotics. She seems to
be doing good, although there are times that I get scared for her. She
is funny, I have to write down some of her comments. Zuber came by to
hang and I ran to the food store to stock up for the week. Thanks Zuber!
He of course didn't come empty handed....orange Julius
Stacey from
hospice (moms nurse) came by to check on her since getting out of the
hospital. Stacey is taking a new position within a nursing home setting,
not sure how much longer she will be the nurse for. She helped switch
out the egg crate that they delivered with the hospital bed for moms gel
pad she had previously been using. Today mom had to stand for a minute
to switch the mattress (gel), put new sheets on, and a draw sheet. She
stood! Just a couple days ago she was in intensive care! She took all
if her scheduled meds, ate all her meals, got a full sponge/bed bath,
and entertained company. She ate breakfast (a package of oatmeal), the
nurse came (changed the sheets and mattress), then Ms. V came to giver
her a bath (seems so nice and conscience), she had lunch (a pulled beef
or pig sandwich) -she ate the entire sandwich, she rested, Zuber came to
visit bringing Duncan doughnuts, then Eric came to visit after work, we
ate dinner, and she rested/got ready for bed. Eric took moms door off
the hinges to see if it would help in mobilizing her for Thursday's
paracentesis.
As a result of being in bed all day and night, day
after day, mom's legs look the best they have in a long time.
