Tuesday's News
Roche Family News:
This is the news from Stacy's end of things:
Csilla told me after her visit that she had a lot of difficulty getting
information from the RN on the floor regarding your mother's condition
and her wound dressings. She was referred back to Georgie. Csilla told
me that it sounded like Georgie was ok with the decision to continue
with Dr. Altman. Csilla left a message for Pat today as she really
seems to know more about what is going on. Csilla was also very
concerned about her low energy level. As far as the coban dressing goes
- if Dr. Altman orders it, the nursing home has to follow his orders and
provide it. I also received a message about the Medicare Part B running
out. I am waiting for a return call from the therapy director. It is
possible that they are counting the times she received therapy through
Healthreach Rehab back at home. She also mentioned an extension and I
hope to find out more from her on if that is possible. Part D covers
medication only. I will keep you updated on what I find out on my end.

I talked to Mom tonight and she sounded very tired. She had a lot of trouble hearing me but said that she is still taking all of her meals in her room.
After I talked to Bridge, I checked back with the night nurse to see what Dr. Hawes had changed. The notes just said they were checking for lactose intolerance (see Bridge's notes) and changing her insulin routine. Now she is on a sliding scale and checked 4X a day. Starting tonight, she will receive a shot of insulin called Lantis, which is longer acting. She will be checked 3X a day and be given insulin when she registers over 125. There was no other information and none of this is connected to or causing her lethargy, weakness and breathing issues. I'll try to reach the doctor directly tomorrow. Wish me luck.
