When I arrived this afternoon, mom was sitting up in the chair, finishing lunch. She was pleased with her mail and enjoyed a nice card and letter. She mentioned that her derriere was sore and that she had been sitting up all day. I suggested she should consider getting back in bed on the soft mattress and after making her way to the bathroom, getting cleaned up and back that's what she did. Her nurse and NA were very attentive and kept a frequent watch on her. Byron received a call from the Dr earlier today requesting approval for a blood transfusion, apparently her hemoglobin level had dropped significantly and there was some concern. After getting the okay, they were finally able to get a new IV started for the transfusion and got it up and running about the time dinner arrived.
Reverend Miller visited for a while, we enjoyed talking about a variety of topics and I shared Byron's knowledge on the Olmacher questions posed earlier. Mother shared her familiarity with the Olmacher name and rattled off several other names associated with the early days of downtown Royal Oak business. It was quite pleasant.
She has been fed, had easy access to her phone and church directory as well as her call button. I think I'll take off soon to be back early and meet with the doctor.
