Hello again
Mom is looking better and acting better. She is hungry though, and I can only give her thickened water.
It is weird though, that mom won't take the water from the staff, but I have absolutely no problem with mom taking the water from me. Tonight mom had two containers of the water.
I don't know why this is. When I arrived mom was very thirsty. Waiting for me.
I wish she would of taken the water from the staff today. I should say from the OT, as mom was reassessed today. And of course she is still only allowed the thickened water, because mom would not drink for her/him.
I am reminding mom to swallow and to drink for the staff. The more she drinks the better her swallowing will become. And then we can move onto something else. Like a smoothie.
Mom was bright and talkative when I arrived. And the first thing I did was give her something to drink then the spa treatment.
Well someone from there is reading this blog. I don't have any problem with it at all. After all this is only my opinion on how I see things and how things are unfolding as we move along with mom's recovery.
So go ahead and read this blog. And if you want to discuss anything, feel free to contact me. Understand this. I don't care if you read it. I have nothing to hide.
I am honest and upfront and truthful about everything I see and feel. And this is the way it has always been. I see things differently than any staff member. They work for Fraser Health and have to defend them. Or else loose there job.
I spoke with the manager today and expressed my disappointment with the threatening letter. I am not afraid of Fraser Health as I was not and continue to be not afraid of the PGT.
I have had success with confronting both the PGT and Fraser Health, as well as Riverview Hospital. This is where mom was for over 3 years. A Mental Health facility. And I needed to be on top of everything. And I fought for mom. And I will continue to fight for mom.
All I want is mom to get well. I know it is not her time to go. I know it. I have been told this.
I am a believer in GOD and Jesus Christ. I know the exact moment when mom was healed. I saw it first hand. Yes it is going to take time to get mom back to where she was. Or close to it anyways.
I am the one there and I am the one who takes care of my mother. There is not a living soul who takes better care of my mother than I.
It is a pity that they only see death. As I mentioned about the meeting with the director and my stating to her, that it is a pattern within the health care system, you just say, don't feed her or she will get food or anything else in her lungs. She tells me that she is sorry I feel that way. I have no feelings on this at all. It is a FACT. So no feeling are involved with it.
The other day, my cousin was in and she even states that I am a kind and gentle person who is honest and has nothing to hide. I am upfront and don't hold back. I never thought any family member thought anything like that about me.
This one statement from her has changed my attitude about myself. I am looking at myself differently. I feel better.
I realized, finally, I am a very forthcoming. I can be proud of myself. I am not doing any of this to get something from it. I am doing this, taking care of my mother because it is the right thing to do.
I feel that it is GOD walks with me through this journey. He is the one who is Healing mom. HE guides me throughout each day. Lets me know what I should be doing.
I am only concerned that mom is taken care of properly and that everyone at Al Hogg does everything to keep her alive. Or I will, regardless of the threatening letter.
I will do whatever it takes to make sure mom gets well. I mean everything. I am prepared to take this on and do what I have to.
I have been doing this for a very long time and I have plenty of contacts, to give me advice, if I need it. I know what I am doing. And how to go about doing what is necessary.
OK now it is late and I need to get to bed. Well after I watch a couple of things.
Please pray for mom.
GOD bless and good night
