Hello again
So I arrive to find out the RN has let the doctor know that I was thinking of something that is not to toxic to mom to help her with her stiffness. so they tell me of this medication baclofen. The LPN tells me it is a drug the doctor did not want to use yet. Instead the doctor prescribed Lorazapam. And that was a NO. The LPN was trying to tell me that the side effects of Ativan Lorazapam. would likely go away after mom got use to the medication. I needed to explain to her that I am not an idiot and I have been dealing with the different medications mom and dad were given over the years. And I have a differing of opinion then she does on what mom should be getting or what I want and don't want mom to be given. She just looked at me as if I should be listening to what she had to say.
I have and can contact the Mayo Clinic or John's Hopkins University and ask them which medication mom should be taking, without the horrendous side effects. On the bus on the way home I looked this medication up and the side effects of this drug, backlofen, are worse than that of the ativan. And we all know what my answer to this is. NO. Mom is not going to be taking this drug. I will write the two top Clinics in the world on what mom could take. I will wait until I receive an answer and than discuss this with the doctor.
This is another problem I have. I stated to the RN that I am curious of what medication mom could take. I never said to put her on anything. Just curious.
Well mom was tired today. They tell me they did not give mom anything. But I know mom and what she is like. They gave her something. But denied giving her anything.
She was eating very slowly and not swallowing properly.
But she did eat and her dessert as well.
A good thing. Not as much as I would of liked her to eat. She didn't eat what I brought her. Because she was to tired and it was taking her a very long time to chew a single piece of the dinner I brought her.
Oh yea mom was in bed when I arrived. Bowel movement and she got sick. Something is up with this. It is happening to much lately. Have to find out what and put a stop to it.
I got her nightly spa treatment done and by the time I was about to do her face and neck, mom was almost a sleep.
And after I finished and did the dishes mom was asleep. I just sang to her and kissed her good night. Packed up and left.
I am back here now and going to watch what I downloaded.
I didn't sleep well, again.
I just ask GOD if I can get four hours of straight sleep. That is all.
GOD bless and good night
