22-Oct 10:30 AM Taken by Ashley (Nurse)
BP 146/90
Pulse 92
O2 95%
Temp 96.7
Resp 22
Notes: Lungs = Slight 'rales' in lower lobes. Elevated BP was probably due to stats taken just after her bath.
-----------
Next Tuesday the Head Nurse (Anna) and the Hospice Doctor (Dr Porter) will make the bi-monthly visit/evaluation. This is where we hold our breath because if Gma isn't showing signs of deteriorating then she will be removed as a Hospice patient. If that happens I'm not sure what will happen... I bring this up because Gma has been quite cheerful and mobile for the last couple of weeks... It seems that government bean-counters only look at the statistics reported and not the person or situation...

Oh wow. I can understand your concern. Will be keeping this appointment and Gma's peace in my prayers. And maybe I will try to get that nap in this weekend that you encouraged us to take! 😉
