New ted

Snapped a photo of Scout and the new teddy that Phoebe from my class bought for her. She and Jodie have been very happy to play with it.

Had a long and good phone conversation with the social worker who is asking all the right questions and clearly wants the best for mom and me and she is not satisfied with what the hospital are saying/doing at present and she is pushing for answers.

Cathie and I went out to the brownie barn for a coffee with a brownie and ice cream. Unfortunately it turns out that they are having issues with their water supply which is affecting the taste of their coffee and tea. I couldn’t drink the first cup. They made a second which was better but still not their usual good quality. Anyway, the view was calming.

Just as I was about to leave for the hospital, I got another call from the social worker giving me an update on what she had done and to prepare me that the hospital might call me. Basically, she asked them to start the process of ‘Martha’s Rule’ to have mom’s case reassessed by a different consultant because we have no faith in the current one (on account of him refusing to speak to us and having never spoken to me with any updates even though he knew I was there and asking for updates).
I’m so glad we have her advocating for us again.
Anyway…back to waiting. :(

Mom was not happy today and the nurse seemed to want to impress on me that she is trying to get mom to drink and basically tried forcing mom to drink in front of me…unsurprisingly that did not go down well with mom!
I left her to sleep a bit, then put some music on and gradually bit by bit she started to relax and open her eyes and engage with me. She spoke a very little to Eon, spoke a bit to Stewart, spoke a bit more to Audrey and I managed to get a fruit jelly and small carton or apple juice down her!

At least she was relaxed and content again when I left her snuggled up for bedtime.

Home. Fish for dinner then ended up walking the girls late again.
Bed.
I’m very tired.
