Day 25

Cindy Lobel, Comfort, Health, Long Term Care, Pain, Physical Therapist, Physical Therapy, Status
Today is a resting day.  The staff has decided that Cindy’s goal for the next two days is to be comfortable and in less pain.  That means that she is not breathing on her own as much as she had been.  The breathing machine is helping her with her breathing again  Breathing on her can be very tiring and she needs a little break.

Cindy’s temperment is very good.  She likes joking around and is becoming very social.  She is able to write a little and finding other ways to communicate.  When people visit her, she makes sure that everyone knows each other.  Since Cindy can’t help anyone, she tries to match everyone’s skill with other people’s needs.

Tomorrow, Rita, Mary and Debbie are going to check out a Long Term Care facility.
