Happy Mother's Day to all of you! Judy said that Mom and Dad were good today! That is great! Nikki came and told Pat and Judy both that the doctor had written new orders on them. For Mom he had ordered another CBC and wanted to start her on a multivitamin as well as iron. They told Nikki that Mom can't take iron anymore than they could and she said that she would make a note about it and watch her. They said that the multivitamin would be fine. They also wanted to do a stool sample for bleeding we assume but they told Nikki it was fine to do it but that we wouldn't be interested in doing anything about it if they did find something! She thought they were doing it because her CBC is low but it always is. For Dad the doctor wanted to increase his insulin a small amount (2 units more in the morning and also at night). They told her that we all felt that it was already too much insulin! His blood sugar today was 99 which again explained that it was too low for Dad. She said that he had also ordered the blood sugar test where they can see what it has been running for the past few months. She was calling the doctor and telling him that just because he saw where it was 140 that it was not a true picture. She was going to tell the doc what it has been running and then we wait till the blood test comes back before adding any additional units. Judy and I will go back over tomorrow and go over this again with the nursing staff on duty tomorrow. They both ate pretty good with Dad eating more of course. She and Pat took Mom a mother's day present and she was so excited. The nursing home had given all the women pink corsages today and Mom was emotional when she first arrived. She called her by name though when she saw her and Judy was excited. Dad told Mom she was already beautiful when Judy mentioned how pretty Mom would look in the top and pants which was so sweet. Dad also made an interesting comment to Pat at lunch. Someone was coughing and Dad said "yeah a lot of the people in this nursing home cough". Interesting! Hope all had a good Mother's Day! Love to all, Jeanie
