Today the surgeon I talked to in the ER called me. They were wanting to put Mom in a critical care facility or acute care nursing facility. Pretty much a nursing home in my opinion. She just gets almost proper care in ICU (You'd think in ICU you could rest and know they are in the best care) NOT TRUE. You have to keep them on their toes even there. They mentioned one of the facilities called Maplewood ( it is just down the street from St. Francis) This is the place my grandma was in and I yanked her out of there. It was terrible. Maybe they have changed this place because the director over it told me it was not a long term facility and most of the residents were not there for more than 25 days. Still I know she will not be watched like she would be at her home. They use to have a skilled nursing in St Francis and Mom was in there a short time. If my Dad had not been with her she would have choked to death. Being on a ventilator closed off in a room down the hall. That is not going to repeat. I can not be there 24/7 like my Dad did.
I know God is going to work things out. No doubt about it!
Thanking God for giving me strength today. Once the doctor woke me up at 10:00 am I could not go back to sleep so my day just ended a few hours ago. It was off to get my Dads groceries, taking them to him, off to the hospital to see Mom, back home to get Ken off to work , to Sams, then to the hospital again until about 9:00 pm. Then off to finish my grocery shopping and fill up the truck at the CNG station. When I left the hospital it was raining. Nothing like a downpour when you are in out of the truck. By the time I got home around midnight I was soaked to the skin.
I am thinking I may fall asleep without much trouble tonight. :)
