Busy Monday

When I got here at 8:30 am Mary(her CNA) was just finishing with changing her bedding. Her RT(Victoria) then cleaned her mouth again and we decided that every hour was a bit too much and now it is as needed.
Next in was the Director of Case Management, Ann M Ventrillo,RN, BSN, and said that we will have a treatment meeting every Tuesday AM. As she was leaving her nurse, Debbie came in with meds. before she left the wound nurse came in and took pictures of all her boo-boos and set up treatment for each. Then the PT and OT nurses came in and sat her up on the edge of the bed and evaluated her range of movement and strength of her arms and legs. As they were leaving the Speech Pathologist arrived and evaluated her speech and said tomorrow she will work on her swallowing.
The director of Clinical Services, Mikki R Bachman, RN, BSN, came in while I was out checking my kidney function. Glenn A. Mackay, MD Infectious Disease stopped by, she had him at Olathe, and said he was unable to grow anything new so we can leave off the robes and gloves. Then her Dialysis Nurse came in at 11:00 AM.
2:45 PM the Director of Medicine, Dr. Pratip Patel, specialist in Internal Medicine, came by and discussed her diarrhoea. Dialysis ended about 4:pm with only 1 kilo removed (she has had very little fluids and diarrhoea). As I was leaving at 5:30 pm Debbie was coming in with her insulin for a blood sugar of 188.
