UPDATE ON MUM
05/04/2007 by Ted.
EVENING OF 5TH APRIL 2007. FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH (SEE BELOW) YOU WILL APPRECIATE THAT TODAY THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING.
THIS MORNING THE DISTRICT NURSE ARRIVED AND CONFIRMED THAT MUM’S BTM NEEDED SOMETHING MORE THAN BARRIER CREAM. SHE CLEANED UP THE SORE PLACES AND THEN APPLIED A SKIN-TYPE DRESSING TO PROTECT THE AREAS AND SHE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE HEALED.
IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THE SORENESS A HOSPITAL BED WITH AN AIR MATTRESS HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY ST. GEORGE’S FOR MUM’S USE. THIS IS A DOUBLE BLESSING BECAUSE IT HAS A REMOTE CONTROL TO RAISE AND LOWER THE HEAD AND FOOT OF THE BED. THIS MEANS THAT MUM IS NO LONGER RELIANT ON MASSES OF PILLOWS TO KEEP HER IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION WHEN SHE SLEEPS. USING THE REMOTE CONTROL SHE CAN NOW RAISE THE HEAD OF THE BED UNTIL IT IS AT THE ANGLE SHE REQUIRES AND THEN HAVE JUST ONE PILLOW BEHIND HER TO TO REST HER HEAD ON.
BECAUSE THE BED IS LARGER THAN THE ONE REPLACED THE ROOM HAS BEEN RE-ARRANGED SO THAT THE BED LIES ALONGSIDE THE WINDOW. THIS WILL NOW ALLOW HER TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON OUTSIDE WHETHER SHE IS IN BED OR IN HER CHAIR.
THESE EVENTS HAVE MADE A GREAT DIFFERENCE TO MUM’S COMFORT, AND THIS EVENING SHE WAS RELAXED AND HAPPY AS SHE SETTLED DOWN TO SLEEP WITH THE BED PULSATING GENTLY BENEATH HER.
SHE ASKS ME, OF COURSE, TO SEND HER LOVE TO EVERYONE.
AND MINE TOO,
TED.
