94.8 pounds!

Mom is asking for Brian. Last time he was there she was pushing him out telling him to leave. =-( She has done that to my sons many times. I usually tell them to stay put. However I have told them they could go out and wait for me too. It all depend on many factors.

You can see by the title I am again concerned about moms weight. From 160 last March to this today. She is going in for some test tomorrow. I will need to call Friday to see if they found anything. The Dr. mention it could be her body's way of say it is shutting down as she eats like a pig and drops weight. Then again as her care giver pointed out she has been dropping most of it since her stroke last May 1.

I picked mom up from Cedar Valley Hospice today to take her to the Dr. Then after we finished there with her. I/we (care taker, mom and I) met with Iowa Hospice. I am praying about what to do from here. They believed she qualified, but thought it would be under stroke risk first with dementia secondary. Much to pray about.

Mom had a night of not sleeping Friday night. So her care taker did not get much sleep either. They were tired when I was there on Saturday.

Things went nice with the nurse on Saturday for mom annual elvalutation.

I am thinking I should change hospice programs in her community. While I need to call her curent one back on Monday.

I need to make calls for mom, brothers, Dr. and finding a price for the scooter. such is life. ....

I talked with the hospice social worker today

I talked with the hospice social worker today. It seems they are concerned that they are trying to teach mom's care worker to do things their way and they are not sure she will do it the way they wish. So like it or not it sound like they may be putting pressure on me to move mom again. I hope not! Mom's care taker has been taking car of her for over a year now. It seem they believe it is there way or the highway.

Even so Lord ...Come quickly...

Time for anuel checks

Time for annual checks. The insurance company called late last week saying it was time for an check on mom. So we have have it set up for this weekend. They called tonight to confirm and I made sure her care taker knew. So it is all a go I guess.

I should call my brother and see how their little one is doing. Then again I need to call both brothers and talk about the freezer. Try to do that with piano lessons tomorrow.

Dentist Appointment coming

Taking care of business

Mom has a dentist appointment coming soon. After an unexpected trip to Waterloo last week I think I think we took care of a number of things.
Got scooter serial #, seat belt for transport chair, talked to credit union, and signed insurance forms for moms care.

DH wanted me to cancel the dentist but since I am not God I will keep it. If I knew she did not have long I might skip it. Still I do not know that so I will keep it. Then she has a med check the following week.

Back to Her Caretakers

Back to her caretakers after her visit to the hospice house for respite for her caretaker.

Her pastor came to visit on Thursday, I went to visit on Friday. She seemed over medicated, to my thinking.
