Monday

Well, today has been another busy day. Yesterday Preston had a visitor - one of our neighbors and he was so glad to see her. Anyhow, today speech came, and then the RN from Community Longterm Care and got all the paperwork out of the way. We can chose our own person to come in and take care of Preston and they will pay them, and the take home pay is $10.03/hr. So I already have someone in mind and have called her and she wants to do it. It is a good friend of ours whom Preston loves, so this will work out great. It may take 2 weeks or so to get Preston in the system. They are going to have a ramp built for us, help us buy diapers and wipes, and many services.

Preston has jaundice, he is yellow all over! So in a.m the home health nurse has to draw blood for a liver profile. I hope if he has to have IV's to flush the jaundice out, that it can all be done at home. That is one good thing about having home health! I have left off 2 doses of the meds. that is probably causing the jaundice, so hopefully his blood pressure will be ok. It was fine this a.m. when the speech therapist took it.

Missie is spending the night with a friend and going to NC to Ghost Town tomorrow and she is in 7th Heaven! She will be gone until late tomorrow night, but she is so excited about going. I will miss her as she is a big help to me.

Gotta finish supper dishes.
