Mom has been on a decline which at first I attributed to the change of living arrangements but had them test for a UTI since they are so detrimental to the elderly. Yesterday she was so out of it it was scary. Finally got the antibiotic at 230pm and gave it to her. By the evening she was noticeably better! I cannot wait until tonight after a 2nd dose to see even more improvement.
Last night though I did notice also that her eye has gunk in it so when the nurse comes in the AM to check out her sore on her heel I will ask her about that! Geez Louise, I told Mom that I guess she is finally getting too old ... she is just falling apart! ; )
On a more serious note though I do have moments where I feel to blame for moving her and putting this stress on her but I quickly banish that. Then I think maybe her playing the guinea pig to my learning process is not fair to her but then I banish that thought because the alternative is out of the question!
