Mom broke her hip

[Debp]

Praying for you both, Debp,xxx

Thanks.

Last night I gave mom tender small bits of chicken on top of rice. Also, mashed sweet potatoes and peas.

She only ate a little bit....and totally left the peas. I then gave her a scoop of cottage cheese since she ate so little and insisted that she eat it. She did eat that.

Bless her heart, she is SO Blessed to have a Daughter like you, I know you are both so bonded to each other....it’s lovely to see, by reading your posts,xxxx

Praying that she regains her strength and appetite, turns that corner soon, In Jesus Name....Amen!!

Just wanted to let you know that mom ate well yesterday! It's actually the first time since she got home from the hospital that she ate well. So I hope and pray it will continue.

I ordered groceries yesterday and she asked for candy and ice cream. Maybe it's a turning point, hopefully, since she hadn't asked for anything since the hospital!

Also late yesterday she tried to push herself up towards the headboard...she only moved about an inch but at least she tried on her own.

I noticed one of her incisions is open about an eighth of an inch. So I am trying to disinfect it. Will get some triple antibiotic ointment as soon as possible.

Thanks for your prayers.

If it gets worse I can ask the home care agency to send the nurse. But hopefully keeping it clean and getting antibiotic ointment will do the trick. It's only open a tiny bit and there is no pus.

I told mom not to scratch it. Put a bandaid on after cleaning it.

Hi Debp, how are you both doing? xx

Hi Debp, how are you both doing? xx

Thanks for asking.

Mom is about the same.... still bed bound. I got faster changing diapers except when it's poo!

Tried to request more sessions with the OT and the PT....as they are running out now. But mom's doctor is in Poland until May 20. Told the agency, haven't heard back.

Medicare requires a doctor saying mom needs the sessions. And the sessions are totally stopped after so long.

I tried to get mom up towards the headboard the other day by sitting her on the edge of the bed and lifting her up that way....did about three quick lifts. So only got her moved about three inches. She's afraid of her butt sliding off the edge which I am aware of being a danger. (An aunt's mom broke her hip by sliding off the edge of a bed!)

Then I laid her flat on her back and worked with her body to get her more centered in the bed.

Might have to try that again today. Peter the OT has his last visit tomorrow and will pull her upwards on the bed. Minji has two more sessions.

Hopefully when mums Doctor gets back from Poland, he will give her the all clear, to get more sessions.

All this red tape business is so annoying....I pray that Doctor gives the go ahead , when he gets back from Poland,xx

Be very careful with your back,Sis, xxx
