I am a full time care giver to a loved one who isn't doing well right. He has late stage Dementia, and we just recently found out that he also has a UTI. His home care agency sent a RN to draw both blood and urine samples last Saturday. I don't know WHO dropped the ball, but the blood sample didn't get run. He's also got fluid on his lungs, and has been put on Lasix. Another RN is supposed to come out to do another blood draw on him tomorrow He's a hard stick and the nurse that was here last Sat. had to stick him 3 times before she was able to get his blood. His Dementia keeps him from being able to communicate any of his pain to us. Please pray for him and for God to work through us to be able to discern the best to do for him. He's on Medicaid and the local hospital hasn't treated him well in the past, refusing to admit him because he's poor. Yesterday, his Medicaid re-cert was due, and the home health agency also dropped the ball on what they needed to do to continue his care. So, it may be a few days before they are allowed to come back into the home.
That's just a bit of what we are going thru right now. Please pray for us.
God bless you all, Marsha
