Hello Everyone,
My MIL got her feeding tube about 2 weeks ago. All went as well as could be expected. They did notice in the hospital that her Oxygen was low (between 87 and 92) Long story short, we got sent home with O2 and we finally got a nurse and aide in. We are worried that home caregiver isn't pulling his weight with the dressing changes, her meds etc.... I believe that we are all getting together over the weekend to have a meeting and see if someone elses home would be better for her. I am just shocked that it has come to this.
I am sorry to vent, I am just so suprised when the "weight" falls on a select few and the rest just look on.
I pray for you all every day
In friendship
Jeannie
