Mom's cont. update

Mom is eating about 25% of her meals. She has not had another seizure and her vital signs remain stable except her oxygen saturation(O2 sats). Her O2 sats fell at 81% so oxygen was started. She is a fighter and cont. to hang on! I did get a new nurse from hospice. The one that was taking care of mom wasn't very compassionate or empathetic to me. Being a nurse I expect the nurse taking care of my mom and family to treat us the same as I would treat my patients and their family. If you don't have the compassion as a nurse, especially as a hospice nurse, then this isn't the job for you!
