Just a quick update - Last night the head nurse called from Riverview to let us know that they were going to ask Hospice to have someone sent out for grief counseling with Mom. Evidently Hospice has great resources to help people work through issues of grief. Pat and I shared that we wondered if Mom had the ability to communicate with anyone, and they acknowledged that but felt that it couldn't hurt anything and it might help her with her increasing sadness. They also are going to increase her Trazadone to two times a day instead of once a day. They originally suggested increasing it from one to three times a day but we suggested increasing to two as she can be so sensitive to medication changes. Just wanted to update you and will post this same message in blog.
