Nurse Sonya Says!



Hospice nurse Sonya is checking Mom over right now. Current prognosis is Mom is suffering from "Thrush" a yeast mouth infection from antibiotics she had taken before. This was the white spots and cracks in Moms tongue I saw. Also partly caused by dry mouth condition. Moms respiration is shallow and irregular. Respiratory rate is only 8, normal is around 12.

Mom is increasingly getting weaker by the minute by looks and healthwise. She fades in and out more regularly than say even yesterday.

The Nurse just gave Mom a small dose of the liquid morphine for Moms pain.
