This has been a difficult week for Mom, who has been very sick because of the two infections she has been fighting. She is starting to recover, but it is a very slow process.
The therapist will stop her therapy on Friday in order to have a week of observation to determine her progress so far.
Also, we and the nursing staff have seen a marked deterioration in her condition from last week. The doctor feels the confusion is coming in part from the infections. There is also the possibility that she has had one or more small strokes in the last week. She’s been sleeping more. She has been more confused about where she is, why she’s there, and where she used to live as well as some other things. She asks those questions, and it’s like she’s trying to make sense of her circumstances and can’t. And for the last few days she has said she wants to stop dialysis, which to us is a sign she is giving up. We continue to encourage her to do her very best at therapy so she can get back on her feet.
Please continue to lift Peggy in prayer.
