Hey there, Since the oxycodone wasn't working too well, Mama got a fentanyl patch (sp?) yesterday and she woke up itching above the waist last night. Could it be the patch? Her back and butt still...
Vana44, Glad you got him checked out. I hope he starts feeling better and you find peace of mind soon. I'm praying for ya'll....
Hey Amee, You are so right. I also feel drawn to the drama. I want to be over there to be with Mama but I have the kids to deal with and they are driving me crazy today. I took them with me to get...

Vana44, You might want to try some Ensure. I heard that is good for them too....
Vana44, If I were you, I would take him to the emergency room and tell them to check his ammonia levels. This is not something doctors usually check for so we tell them to do that first. The blood...
Hi, If I were you, I'd get his doctor to check his ammonia levels Monday morning! He sounds out of it. Because of the encephalopothy, he doesn't know his ammonia levels may be up so he isn't aware of...
Ditto Penny....

Thank you all for the support. Home Health came and Mama enjoyed having them there. She is stronger now. Not eating much but that's ok. I don't know all the details yet but will keep you posted....
Mom went to the doctor today and he couldn't believe she made it through the stroke or that she had so many problems. (My sister sat down with him without my Mama present). I don't know why he didn't...
