Reid was able to talk for a bit last night. He feels like h**l. He will be in the hospital for a while. He is very sick. He says this is the worse he has ever felt.
Reid reminded the Nurse that I am on record as his MPOA and Caregiver and that I need to be kept informed. The Nurse called and gave me an update and made sure my phone number is on his chart. I reinforced that I am to be kept in the loop.
They are having problems keeping his blood oxygen up. He is on 15 liters of oxygen. They have him on a BiPap machine to help him breathe. They are treating his pneumonia with antibiotics. He has little appetite and is very fatigued. They have him on a machine that does gentle vibrations to try and breakup the congestion.
I had two dreams last night where I successfully helped someone. Maybe it is a sign that yes I’m still a caregiver and I will be successful in getting Reid’s spirit up and taking care of him when he gets home.
I am still depressed, stressed, and exhausted. I am turning to crafts to keep my spirit up. Yesterday I made a Valentine’s wreathe for the front door. I’m hoping to have wreathes up for all the months. Today Pixie is going to “help” me make jewelry.
