Mom had a peaceful but sleepy day today...nothing significant going on...moved her arm and foot a few times on the right side. Made a face or two...eyes opened once when nurse suctioned her...tried to open them by lifting her brows but not quite open.
I met with the physical therapist early this morning. He showed me what to do with mom in the way of mild range of motion exercises. I will be making a chart of this for anyone to do, if you wish to, when visiting mom. We have clipboards in the draw or the armoire with charts and pencils...and activities to do with mom. Claudia purchased Sound Bingo today---to be used as a sound source while labeling the sounds. I still have to get to the stores to buy items for her Sensory Stimulation Box.
Dad and I have lots to do on Wednesday in the way of preparing for Medicaid..so Wednesday is a good day to visit mom. I will catch up with the Respiratory Therapist on Tuesday.
Her CNA said that mom had such an active weekend that she probably is just really tired today.
I know she needs to be still and heal...but I still don't like her less active days like this one.
Am exhausted tonight...Love to all...Kath
