530 and 830 Visit on 04/18/2009

Upon walking in the room for the 530 visit, mom looked distressed. She appeared to be uncomfortable, and I really could blame her since her bed was at a V angle. During our visit, she managed to tweak herself into as sideways a position in the bed as she could. She did not smile, and her reactions to us were very minimal. I started trying to comb out her hair and managed to get two small braids done.
The 830 visit was a little better. She appeared much more comfortable, but still somewhat restless. The nurse, H, taking care of her for the evening stayed in the room and spoke with us for approximately 30 minutes. During that time, he fed her, and I continued to work on her hair. I managed to get 3 more braids in, but there is still a lot of hair to untangle and braid. Babysteps. She is running a low grade fever, and they are keeping the room cool and giving her some pretty strong antibiotics.
That's it for now. I'll try and post more later today after the morning and/or afternoon visits.
