Eleanor has had a bad cold, possibly mild pneumonia. this past week. We went to the clinic on Thursday to see Dr. Suma ; he had an intern with him and after listening to Eleanor's lungs told her that he thought this might be as close to the sound of pneumonia as he could have her listen to. My sister Barb came down to visit this weekend, but unsure how much visiting took place, as Eleanor was using the codeine cough syrup that Dr. Suma had given her for her cough. Barb did manage to get Eleanor to get dressed after telling her she couldn't stay in the same pajamas for 36 hours( probably more like 48). I get nervous about codeine for Eleanor as Dr. Froehner used to give her pills to help her sleep that had codeine in them. I believe it may have contributed to her falling. She called me today to wish me a happy Labor Day, so I'll take that as a sign that she is recovering.
Eleanor is still in the wheel chair and has refused to use her walker. Evelyn's falling and breaking her hip has frightened Mom to the point that she won't use her walker. She had the Heartland staff put in in her shower.
Happy Labor Day to all!
