Hello all. Today they moved my mom again.....to Windsor in Elk Grove on Batey. I spent the whole day at the hospital waiting for this move and it did not occur until 4:30. Crazy....
My mom seemed very clear today - not completely back to normal but close. I think it through her off to move again but I hope that doesn't set her back. I am not happy with the move but was told that to contest the move would only prolong the inevitable so I didn't fight it.
She was so excited to see her dyne (down comforter) she was looking forward to sleeping. She ate a little dinner at WIndsor before I left and was watching tv and reading her Danish magazine. Today she helped me with a crossword puzzle.
Today the doctor told her again how important the breathing machine was and I asked her why it was so important to wear it all night and she said "she would die". I am still not completely convinced that she gets it....but she will. Last night they had her wear "hers" and she kept it on better than the hospital one...she did not take it off except for once but they put it right back on. I just hope that Windsor checks on her so they can put it back on - I had the respiratory therapist at Kaiser fit it exactly to my mom so that Windsor could just put it on her and she could go to sleep. I told them to check her often and she said that they were in there every 2 hours so I know that she can be without it for 2 hours. At some point my mom will be evaluated in a sleep study to see exactly where her breathing changes....but that will be later in clinic. Also she will get an EEG in clinic at some point.....there has been a referral to neurology.
SO if you would like to visit my mom that would be great....it would be appreciated....thanks
