Ok, I hope I don't forget any of this! LNC called me this morning at about 20 till 7 to tell me Mom had a new skin tear. Debbie called me just a little bit ago (about 7:10) to tell me they'd ordered an antibiotic for Mom--2 reasons: the skin tear and she has a red place near the cuticle on her big toe (they noticed this when they gave her a shower this morning). I said: like an ingrown toenail kind of place? Debbie said: no, like she'd hit it or bumped it or something along those lines. She also said they'd ordered a protein test on Mom for tomorrow. Why? To see if she's getting enough protein. Mom didn't eat much today---spent most of the day in bed sleeping---Debbie said Mom didn't really act like she felt that good today. I asked about the appetite stimulant as in 'does Mom need it' to make sure she eats. When Judy and I were there Mon, Mom had eaten 50% of breakfast. I didn't ask about the other two meals yesterday, but she hasn't had much today. Debbie told me to talk to Nikki about it tomorrow when I'm down there. They've also ordered Dad's metabolic tests. They do these every so often to just check on him with the insulin, etc. Anyway, she said that they were both doing ok. Dad was up with his chewing tobacco and sitting there in his wheelchair---Mom of course was in bed sleeping. Tomorrow I'll go back down to check on them and see how Mom is and if she's eaten. Ok, I think that's it. Love you all, Jeanie
