Good morning!
AMPS 229 shooting a fattened dose of .5F
I believe my boy needs to go back up to .75u but because of DMIL situation I only fattened dose to hopefully keep him in blue/green for right now.
Boomer ate all of his overnight fuds except for a wee bit of +6. He came to bed after his +9 fuds this morning; something he hasn't done for a few days. I felt him jump up, turned over and his handsome face was about 2 inches from mine and he came in for a "hug" aka head butt. I guess he missed me yesterday.
Allen ate very well last night and had a large poop and 2 small ones. DH said the poops were a bit harder. As I'm writing this I detect an odour
and he just had another very soft poop.
My DMIL is in very bad shape. It tore at my heart to see her yesterday; it was much worse than what I had imagined. She can move her legs and her left arm but her right arm remained still the entire time we were there. According to DH, she was able to move it the night of the stroke. She is conscious but slept most of the time. When awake, she knew who we were and tried to say a word or two but the most frequent word we heard was "help". The Dr was speaking to the family as we got there and she says that physically Mom will not get any better. She gave the family the option of having a temporary feeding tube placed which would give Mom a couple of days to see if she improves at all in her ability to understand/communicate (at that point a permanent feeding tube would need to be placed) but that it would not affect the physical limitations. Once all of DH's brothers/sisters were present (later in the afternoon) we went out of the room and discussed and the consensus was that it would prolong the inevitable and Mom would not want to be kept alive under these circumstances. It is my understanding that all monitors and IV have now been removed and a "pick" inserted so that the nurses can administer whatever meds Mom needs to be comfortable and able to sleep. She will likely pass within a few days.
