I think today has been a good day. Up several times for personal care, a walk to the room door with PT, visit from the weekday hospitalist, her primary doctor’s associate, speech therapy ( for swallowing evaluation), Karen and Merle tag teaming, allowing him to go home and comfort the cat. Last night Mom had a distressing difficult time with her IV burning and they couldn’t get a new one started. The IV team cam to the rescue today and she has and IV that should last til she goes home.
Still on 4 liters oxygen, getting nebulizer treatments twice a day and using the incentive spirometer.
We have been impressed with the kind staff, from the assistant the first morning who took extra time to get her hair untangled, the assistant last night who ordered the cot for dad and I to sleep on when one of us is here through the night, the cheerful IV dream team, housekeeping and dietary, to the nurses on each shift so far.
Still not sure of discharge date, but I am pleased with her activity today.
