February was a busy month. A brief summary for each one:
Residents
Alice – spent most of the month on special meeting rounds. Towards the end she got the flu, but is doing better now.
John – had surgery on his hand, then went for a few special meetings
Ruth – had problems with high blood pressure. Medication changes made her feel a lot better
Marybelle – also had high blood pressure, was to the doctor today
Jean – had a lot of falls. She started using a wheel chair instead of a walker to avoid falling. But the last few days she’s gone back to the walker.
Raymond and Elton had a good month.
Nursing Homes
Clinton – has improved physically and mentally. He’s able to walk a little, and is in good spirits. he knows that Al died, but is confused about most current things.
Naomi – is in much better spirits since they changed her medication. Physically she’s weaker, but is up in a wheelchair every day.
Teresa – is in good spirits but remains in bed almost all the time now and seems weaker.
Roger – had a bad spell this month until they eliminated one medication. He’s weaker, and more deaf.
