Mom at 4:30am awoke soaking with perspiration. Her fever had broke. She continues to receive an IV of antibiotics. She waits to hear about the results from the cultures taken. Mom did not need any transfusions today.
Mom has eaten very little for breakfast and lunch. She has not had the strength to walk today. She has been dozing on and off since the morning. Unfortunately, Mom has had a low grade fever since the later part of the morning.
This afternoon, Mike was able to have a nice long visit with Mom. Yes, this perked her right up. Poppie also has had a wonderful day sharing naps with Mom into the evening. Brian, as every night, showed up around 5:30pm for a nice visit. Mom, Poppie and I continue to be amazed with all the stories Brian has to share. Yes,they are his life stories. So many them are simply too funny. I love seeing Mom and Poppie have tears in their eyes from laughing.
Mom had a fever way into the evening. The Nurses took additional blood to culture, Mom had X-Rays of her chest, and then the Nurses settled Mom in for the night with another IV of antibiotics. I gave Mom another foot and leg massage. She always seems to doze off into a relaxing sleep. Shortly after, Brian, Poppie and I left so Mom can sleep and rest.
Have a beautiful weekend,
Karen
