I am happy to say that not only is she having a good day, but we found out why she was having the bad days. She is supposed to be on anti-anxiety medication prescribed 1x per day and instead it was prescribed 3x per day. I know what you are thinking.....what the hell is going on with this place she is at. Here is the deal....the Dr that was assigned to her doesn't seem to give a hoot....she is another patient he needs to hurry and see before leaving for the day. The nurses on the other hand are fantastic....and they are the ones that take care of her all day. unfortunately they have to follow the Dr.'s instructions which is give what he prescribes. This was definitely the cause of her sleepiness and possibly the cause of her altered mood/personality. We want to reiterate that she IS in good hands....just as long as the Dr. doesn't get his script pad out. ugh. But, that situation is taken care of and her meds are what they are supposed to be so hopefully no more of those cranky days lol. She ate a good lunch and at first didn't know who I was but it didn't take her long. This afternoon was a a totally different story. She knew who me and Johnny both were. She was more like herself....more gentle and calm and then became sweet. She was eating a really good dinner and then she stopped and took Johnny's hand and rubbed it and said, "I want to thank you for everything you did for me tonight and I love you". Johnny tried not to cry and said, "well, I don't do it because I have to, I do it bc I love you! Angie loves you too and she is doing a lot too". she replied, I know she is and i love her too". She also said she wants to get better and go home. :) Oh we so do love you too and want you to get better to come home too. :)
Before I forget, I am putting together some flash cards of pictures of family and friends. If you don't mind, could you find a few and send them this way? Thanks. :)
