We're back!! Got in late last night and so we did not get a chance to visit Estelle. We had kept in touch by phone, however, and regretfully I must report that her feeding tube fell out some time yesterday morning. They could not replace it at the home and so we are waiting for an appointment time at the hospital again today. Meanwhile, they have started an IV to assure that she remains well hydrated.
We had a few phone calls from the nurses while we were away cncerning minor things....a slight rash, a small blister, a redness on her coxxyx area, and a regular update on her weight. She has lost 15 pounds since her admission - which they were looking for her to do. Now that she's done so they are going to recheck her thyroid, however, just to make sure it was the change in calories and not a medical reason that the weight loss has occured.
Other that those few things the staff reports that she's been doing well.
