New Plateau Established?
Movement for 11/3/08:
- Today's movement was pretty much a repeat of yesterdays, with a few changes. She felt pretty unsteady upon arising and opted for the wheelchair into the bathroom for her bath, but was confident enough by the end of her bath to walk (with environmental and my support) to the dinette and then from the dinette, down the foyer steps to the rocker, using the walker from the bottom of the steps to the rocker. However, she opted for the wheelchair into the bathroom before napping; walked, though, from the bathroom to the bedroom.
When she awoke from her nap, she walked into the bathroom but was clearly iffy, so I opted for the wheelchair from the bathroom into the living room. On the way to bed, she opted for the wheelchair all the way to bed. Hmmm...I guess we actually used the wheelchair more today than yesterday. - It seems appropriate to note that she's been using O2 when sitting most of today and yesterday at 5/lpm, because, when I dial her back to her usual 4/lpm her breathing is obviously labored.
