A good night

After all the procedures yesterday, mom was worn out and still a bit uncomfortable. She was having a hard time finding a position that she could sleep in and not have her stomach upset. Yesterday mom's pillow wedge arrived. This is a large memory foam pillow that goes on her bed to keep her at a 30 degree angle or it can be flipped so she can sit up. This way we don't have to have a bunch of pillows folded shoved together to try and keep her at an angle. We weren't sure it would be what she needed at first because it didn't seem to make a difference, but she was eventually able to get some solid rest last night. She looks much better this morning. I think this wedge pillow will make a big difference just because it stays in place. She is probably going to spend most of the day resting to make up for the last 2 days.

So glad that you had a good night. This German doctor is another of the Lord's tender mercies. And the Lord knows all that is going on, and our prayers are with you at this time Karen. Aloha.
