Nov 6 Status

Wednesday, November 6, 2013

Another exhausting day.  The didn't do Barb's spinal until about noon today and she had to rest flat for a couple hours after the procedure.  Long time for her.

She managed to pull another IV line out today.  They are having a hard time finding a place to start new ones.  She has been very aggressive today and has been fighting just about anything we have been doing.  Eric spent the day with us with Stacey coming in after work.  Nicole will be spending the night with her again as she did last night.

Eric and I managed to get a meeting set up with the head of the county hospice for us to get some info from her.  We are still looking at our options once she is released.  Right now the recommendations we are looking at are hospice (both inpatient and home care) and nursing homes.

We probably won't get the spinal results until at least tomorrow if not Friday.  Once they are reviewed by all the doctors, they will give us a "final" recommendation for care. There are still many things to be weighed pending a formal prognosis.

Driving us all nuts now that nursing home, etc. are becoming a reality.

As the Lutheran Service Book states "Our Help Is In The Name Of The Lord'.  Our trust lies with Christ.

Love,
Ray
