Tuesday Report on Grandma A

OK. Went to the hospital this morning to see Grandma A.
Good News!- she had a good night!
Still pain, but it was managed. I didn't get to speak with her Dr or the Social Worker, hope to do that this afternoon.
I helped her to get cleaned up and dressed this morning. I also washed all of her clothes and packed some for the trip to Stoneybrook. Her Caregiver- Jaycee will be picking up the rest of the list of items from Grandma's apartment this morning. I will call to try to get a timeline for when they will transport her to Stoneybrook.

As Dad and I were talking last night, he reminded me to share the duties and not try to handle this on my own. (I think he is remembering some of the interactions he has experienced in the last few months).
AnyWho... here is a list of things to consider, please feel free to add and make suggestions, so that we can all be on the same page and be involved in the process.

• the plan is for 2 weeks at Stoneybrook- what about after? is Stoneybrook a good fit for her?
  what is our other option?
• Grandma had a question about medications- do they order? does she still order through Barry's?
• need to contact Dr. Meek - if she is to permanently transfer to a nursing facility, she will need a written order from him. when do we do this?- what are the steps to be taken?
• if this happens- what about her apartment? what about the contents?

I know there are other questions and concerns. Please add to list and if you are willing to research or call, please post and let everyone know. 

I will be adding Uncle Steve to our blog. Aunt Rena already receives the posts.

For those of you out of town, I will let you decide about whether or not to make a trip here. There will be a bit of footwork and wrangling in the next few weeks. Plan accordingly and be wise about time off and vacation.

That's it for now. More later!
