So Far So Good

Mom slept well last night. That is really the first time in the 5 days I have been here that she has said that.. She really likes the nurse that is here at night.

She is doing better today with her diet. She ate her breakfast and her soup at lunch. That is an improvement. We will have to see how she does with dinner.

She is still on target to get out of here on Saturday. She has been very active with the therapy this morning. and in between she actually did some needle work. She was able to continue the pattern perfectly on that.

The dietitian was in and explained that while on the coumadin (blood thinner) she has to avoid eating things with Vitamin K. Because that counteracts the blood thinner. So she was educated about what foods have Vitamin K. She can still have those food's, but she has to have them on a consistent basis so that the regulation of coumadin is consistent.

The home care people were in. She will be receiving care at the condo several times a week after she gets out of here. That is all covered by Medicare.

She is looking foreword to getting out of here. So she can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the beach. Also looking foreword to domino's with friends. They said that will be good therapy if she can do it.
