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.
