Yes, Marjorie. Joel's one amazing person! I won't know what to do without his help!
Joel, I am equally amazed at your creativity! Pls let your RT know I would like a copy of that book once it is done. My mum panics when I loosen the trache holder more than I usually do, so...don't think she will let me do what you do. LOL. Might try the tipping method when my RN friend is around. Thank you so much!
My mum's home and feeling much better. Thank God! But it had been raining a lot and the drop in temp is causing her a lot of secretions. Hopefully when the monsoon season is over, the secretions will decrease accordingly.
Her progression seemed pretty fast. I noticed she is having more difficulties pulling herself up to a sitting position when she lies at an incline now and is not as steady when she stands. I do not have much strength to get her up alone, so I have to use my hands to hold her front/back and push her up using my body weight. My sister saw what I did and was horrified, thinking I was going to push her off the bed. LOL. At least my mum is still in good spirits.
Anyway, anyone has any suggestions on aids to help her get to a sitting position from an incline?
