Hi everyone,
I started the day with mom. She was in a good mood and even helped me do PT. I stretched her out and put in her hearing aids and cleaned her glasses. I also set up the lap tray with some things for her to do. I gave her the magna-doodle and a sewing card. I also gave her the squeezy cow that has the eyes that pop out. I left the TV on and then left mom. I had a respiratory therapist come in to suction mom and she didn't like the color of the phlegm. She said it was too dark. I also spoke with the head of therapy about how mom was put in the wheel chair yesterday. They had her in the chair with no shoes on and with her legs all the way up. I asked the nurse to come in and fix her and he said, "How do you want her?" I asked him if it was in her care plan how she should be placed in the chair and he said no. He showed me the care plan. I spoke with the head of therapy today and he said that they should know how to place her. He also said that I should fill out a concern sheet to let the facility know what happened. THis way he will get a copy and he can talk to the nursing supervisor, so with all of this going on this morning I could do a lot with mom. Anthony is sick now (another one bites the dust!). It sounds like he has what John had last week (head-ache, etc.). Dad came later in the day and stayed to put mom to bed. He said that she was in a good mood until he brought her Christmas cards to look at and then she became depressed. She was reading them and became sad. He said she spoke a little today but he couldn't remember what she said. A woman came into the room with a keyboard and sang for mom. Dad said she liked it. Dad said that they monitored the phlegm all day and that the color changed and they aren't concerned any more.
Please pray for our family to be...wait, as I am writing this, I am thinking of the prayer my dad use to say at dinner: Keep us happy, healthy, and holy!
Please pray for our family to be "Happy, Healthy, and Holy" this holiday season!
Peace and be well,
