A quick entry today. S had a feeding tube placed yesterday, got a call from the hospital that she was quite confused and frightened after the proceedure, but was resting comfortably.">
They were asking my permission to transfuse 2 units of blood, as her level was quite low for some reason. By the time I got to the hosp, S was doing fine, she was clear again mentally. The doctor thought it was a reaction to the drug they used to put her to sleep. We are not sure why she is having the problems with the swallowing, but tests show that ¾ of what she is drinking and eating is winding up in her windpipe and lungs, thus the pneumonia. Found out this is the second bout of pneumonia. There is scaring from a previous bout by x-ray. S doesn't like the idea of the tube, but understands that she can't keep going on like this.
I made it by the bank, and got the financial stuff in order for her to go to the nursing home. Hopefully this all works out. I am trusting God that it will. I will be out of town today, but made arrangements with one of S's friends to go by and sit with her a couple of hours later today. The hosp has my cell number to reach me in case of problems.
The picture above was taken by me. It is a view from Cadiliac Mountain in Acadia National Park at Bar Harbor Maine. This was taken in September of '99 about 1:30pm. I love the sea fog that is there with the ship in the foreground. Very peaceful feelings when I look at this picture.
