Today Mom had a terrible day but it had nothing to do with her. Somehow the nurse gave her loratab early this morning and so she was OUT OF IT. When Johnny inquired about it they told him that either the nurse gave it to her for a headache or by mistake. Ummmmmm. yeah. So Johnny, me and Amelia were there to see her at lunch to spend time with her and to make sure she ate..well was just sleeping....just so out of it. She only woke up enough to eat 4 bites and that is it. Even later in the afternoon when we came back, she was still really out there and not understanding simple things...as I am sure the medication was wearing off still. This is so disappointing after coming off of a few great days. But, she is going to have her good and bad days I suppose. Anyways she was awake enough for the time the speech therapist was there and Johnny learned a few things on what she did with Mom. That way, we can do the same in addition. Mom did pat my arm and tell me that I was a sweet daughter and that she loved me very much. This made my day. She also told Johnny after he corrected her that her name was no longer Pamela Burrows..it was Pamela Rosado "Oh really....(BIG SMILE)....I like being married to you and being Mrs. Rosado" (BIG SMILE again). This made his day. :)
Out of the 4 nursing home/rehabilitation facilities I went and toured today, one stood out and it is called Pilgram Manor. It is super super nice with a big glass enclosed gym to be able to see all the physical therapy being administered to the residents. Physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy is all provided there (up to 3 hours per day depending on what she can do). It is super nice and they say they have 1 opening. So hopefully they will come and evaluate Mom tomorrow and on January 27th it will be a smooth transition.
