A rough first night home...

   We knew that bringing Prissy home was going to be a challenge and require a lot of work. She came home on Wednesday to a house full of sick people!!! Her husband, daughter, and the 2 year old all have severe sinus infections. The 2 month old baby has an ear infection. They all went to the E.R on wednesday night and when they got home it was really late. In addition to dealing with all these sick people in her house, she didn't have a good night's rest. When I went to visit her this morning she remarked that "She can't do it"; her bed doesn't allow her to turn as she needs to for pressure relief and she got off schedule for her cathing.

       I told her that we may have to get her a hospital type bed until she is stronger and able to turn, even though she doesn't or didn't want one to begin with, so we will just see how that goes and I also feel that we will need to get a caregiver until she is stronger and in less pain. SN: just spoke with her and she claims the hospital bed is for old people, she will learn the hardway!

     Otherwise things are well with her and she has a dr. appointment tomorrow to start her coumadin therapy to prevent blood clots.
