Mom came home Saturday and was so thrilled. She slept so well in her own bed and enjoyed not being awoken to have her vitals taken nor having to take a plethora of medications throughout the night. She is loving being in her own surroundings though is missing the "friends" medical staff hanging around and chatting with her.
Sunday was very relaxing for everyone. Mom has settled into a routine already. I wrote out a time schedule for all her meds and recorded on each bottle as well for her what to take and what time. She putzes around the house straightening picture frames, detail cleaning counter tops, the stove, pots and picking up light items to put away in "their proper place. Other from the light things to do, Mom continues to ask, "Will you do me a favor?" She has recruited all of us to be her side kick to keep her home tidy and organized. She sees things around the house that non of us see. Oy Vey, :).
Yesterday the Visiting Nurse came to open up her case. She stayed a good two hours. Yes, mom has a way to have people open up and hang out. The Nurse allowed me to flush all her Hickman lines. I wrote this out step by step so Mom will have the control to direct whomever does the flushing, wink. Mom spent the day taking naps, implementing her relaxation and breathing techniques I taught her. Mom continues to have a wonderful appetite and maintaining a positive attitude. Mom had another wonderful sleep last night.
This afternoon we have an appointment with her primary Oncologist. I will keep you posted on the plan and any additional information. Have a wonderful day and thank you again for all you love and support.
Tight Hugs,
Karen
