Saturday

Today I set my alarm to get up early so I could take my Dad and my brother over to see Mom. Thank God she was moved finally to the private room closer to the nurses station. We have to suit up to visit. This is for Moms benefit. They do not want anyone to pass on any germs or for her to get any kind of infection. Just more for her to deal with.

I had to get back home before 5:00 pm because Kari had a guitar lesson. After her lesson I went back up by myself. When I came in the room mom did not look comfortable so I called a tech to come and help me move her. With having a bed wound you would think she would be turned more often. I told her tech I had seen her lay in the same position since she came in. And it was confirmed when I pulled the pillow out from under her leg. (they had one leg on top of each other with a pillow in between.) On the leg under neath it had pressure marks all up and down it. I said look at this... she can not lay with her legs like this. The tech apologized but that doesn't change anything. I will have to follow up on this and make sure she is moved myself. They think because she is on a Clinitron bed she doesn't have to be moved. Not true! She got this wound from being in ICU the last time she was in the hospital.
