7-Jul
Nurse: Gaby

BP       136/89
Pulse    85
O2       96%
Temp     99.1
Resp     26

------------------
We weren't here when the nurse came.  Gaby was kind enough to write down the stats for me and leave them behind.


On a side note -- Gma has seemed to have greatly improved.  Her mobility is good. Her mental faculties are good, i.e., her reasoning is good and her memory is a bit better than usual.  This all sounds great - but the other side of the coin is that the main nurse has been dropping hints that the government bean counters may be getting ready to drop Gma from the hospice program, because she is not showing very many signs of decline anymore.  If this happens -- well, it's not gonna be a pretty situation...  Anna (main nurse) has assured me that she is doing everything she can to write as many details in the reports to show that Gma is still declining, albeit slowly...

I will spare you the details of what could potentially happen if Hospice goes out of the picture, as I see it...  There are still a lot of variables...

Meantime - her 93 birthday is this coming Thursday...
