Packer Sunday

Roche Family News
I went to mass this morning with Mom. She said she had a bad night. Her stomach was upset and she needed to use the bathroom often. You could still hear her stomach gurgling from across the room. (She complained that one of the night aides was sort of rough with her. We'll talk with the nurses about that.) She is back on the oxygen and sounds wheezy. She had a breathing treatment after mass. She still looks kind of beat.

Colleen P and Bridget came to visit too. We were there when Mom's leg dressings were changed. The wounds look better but there is much swelling at and above the knee. Colleen and I were able to talk with Mike the nurse about the way her legs should be dressed. They are using ace bandages rather than coban and that causes some problems. The bandages aren't long enough to reach the knee and they bind at the ankle causing her discomfort. Not sure why we can't get that settled.

There is a care plan meeting on Wed. am and Stacy will be there. I'm hoping she can get an answer as to why they won't order the coban. Bridge will try to set up a family meeting after 4:00 some night.

Kathleen Andries, Mary Ellen and Rainey came to visit in the pm. Mom was thrilled to see them. Kathleen brought pictures from their party for John's boat opening.
