Frustration Has Set In!!

Dad called me this morning and he is very frustrated with how things are going!

He arrived this morning and Mom's arms were tied down again and Mom was delusional through the night and had pulled out an IV and pulling off her oxygen and oxygen saturation light on her finger. 

They have not let Mom eat anything yet and she is hungry because they want to do a "swallow study" before to make sure she is swallowing correctly, yet she ate ice chips, drank water and drank apple juice without any problems.  So Dad is frustrated it is taking them so long to accomplish anything.

Dad emailed, Lynette, the coordinator for Mom's surgeons, Dr. Patterson and Dr. Antony and she is getting control of the situation.

Mom seems to be unaware of her surroundings right now, but we are thinking it is related to her 5 days of being under sedation and IV pain medicine.  She also has Morphine PCA hooked up to her but she is not aware enough to push the button!  OH FRUSTRATION!

Please pray for Dad's patience, my frustration of not being there as the nurse daughter and my brother and sister wondering what is going on!

Also, please pray for Mom's mental clarity, very frustrating to her also!

Love,
