Yesterday MK, her parents, and I all enjoyed a nice meal dropped off by two of MK's friends. Our room has been brightened by a couple beautiful floral arrangements and we received a wonderful gift basket full of all sorts of treats. MK was able to get up a little yesterday evening and take a sponge bath.
Last night was a little tough with a low grade fever and the sweats. Having a difficult nurse last night didn't help much either.
Today, started with discomfort for MK but was finally taken care of with the help of the epidural. MK was able to eat some breakfast and is looking forward to lunch.
On a different note, I sure wish our "care team" would get together and communicate about MK's care plan. We have been told at least 3 or 4 different plans regarding the removal of the epidural, switching to oral pain medications, and possible discharge date. I am note sure who is in charge of MK's care at this point because all the different Dr's involved are contradicting one another. It makes us a little uncomfortable when we have one group of Dr's here and we tell them what the other groups have said and they just look at one another in disbelief. I believe I might bill UAB $75 per hour to mediate between these groups. Who knows when the epidural will come out, when MK will start oral meds, or when we will return home. I guess I will simply enjoy my expanded dining choices while here in the big city.
