Dad started the day with mom. She was awake this morning when dad got there. She said, “Good morning” to dad and smiled. She was pretty with it. Anthony came before lunch. A CAN told Anthony that mom had a bed sore on her bottom. Anthony spoke to the nurse practitioner and the nursing supervisor. They looked at it and dad looked at it. It looked like a scrape where skin rubbed away. The nurse practitioner said it doesn’t look bad right now but it needs to be taken care of right away. They aren’t going to put her in the chair too long until they get it healed. She didn’t go into the chair until 2pm and was put in bed right after dinner. The nurse practioner ordered an antibiotic cream to get rid of it. The CNA’s are arguing over whose fault it is that mom has the sore. Anthony made the nurse practioner look under her arm at the blister and they are putting silverdine on it. It already looked better. Anthony said mommy was in good spirits and smiling. Anthony said, “How are you doing” and mom said, “How are you do?” Mom said, “What’s up” to Anthony spontaneously and the respiratory therapist saw mom talking. She stayed awake all morning until lunch. She fed herself toward the end of the meal but needed to be fed for most of the meal. She ate the whole lunch. She slept this afternoon after lunch.
A nurse from the facility called Kathy about mom’s bed sore.
John went to see mom in the evening. She was half sleeping. He had to wake her to eat. She was in a fog. She did snap out of it. Dad had to feed her the whole meal. She wouldn’t eat by herself. She went back in bed. Dad sat with her for a while. She was awake but in a daze. Dad left and John did her PT. She was sound asleep. She didn’t even show signs of pain when working with her arms and hands. She was almost too limp with no resistance. She woke up for a few minutes. John tried to find the Met game but couldn’t find the channel. He put on the Yankees (good excuse John!) and he teased her about the Mets and Yankees. She dozed off. John adjusted the bed, took out her hearing aids and had the nurse put the mitts on. He said a prayer and shut the lights.
I am absolutely exhausted, so I have no idea if any of this makes any sense! (sorry) Crazy day today!
