Caren has been so sick today that Zofran barely works. She has been vomiting.
It has happened yet again. Another CNA didn't do her job correctly. Soon after surgery, an NCA did improper peri-care, and Caren has a raging UTI. Today she was so ill and dizzy that bed seemed her only comfort.
For the last 4-5 days Caren has done her best to tackle all the PT, OT, and Speech Therapy - hours a day, every day - and today she could barely walk. Her bone surgeon has the right arm in a sling and totally immobile for up to eight weeks. How frustrating. How constraining. Therapy is stymied as to what to do next.
Yeah, I know many adages about not giving up. But, after so many setbacks, one tends to feel a little lost. There is no way that I can even imagine how Caren must feel, other than what she tells me. * huge sighs*
Continued prayers please.
Thank you. God bless!

Ya-- I know the feeling-------just so frustrating --I want to take Gil over to his PC and get another hemoglobin check--it's been a wk. since his surgery and the hemoglobin was 8.1---I want to see if it has fallen even more --they do blood transfussion at 7.00---he is so wk. --we go to cardio Dr. Fri. to have bandages off--and find out the results of the iron stores test----just one thing after another---so onward we go-----
