Wednesday evening; no change, no better, not significantly worse. Mum was very tired and the feeding tube is back in. The nursing staff is doing everything they can to make her comfortable. We asked her later if she remembered the physio experience, she just smiled and said. "What's the use?"
The nurses change her sitting angle and give her sponge baths, and they make her feel fresh.
Bev and Archie came in and visited with her just after dinner time. She remembered that visit when we arrived around 7:30 pm. The nursing staff tell us that she is getting enough rest and that people should visit if they want to. They have a quiet time on the ward between 1:00 and 2:30, but that doesn't apply to Mum. Every visitor is important.
Olive has always been a great "visitor" to those who needed her company and attention. She loved to visit her ailing friends and family through all her years and now she is getting some of that good and kind karma back.
