Ricky was exhausted yesterday ( Saturday) from everyone coming over on Friday, he slept almost all day long! He did have a few visitors. My mom and Larry came and my brother and his family came to check on us. The short visits are always good for Ricky!!
Ricky got cleaned up from head to toe, for new sheets to be put on his bed!
He had two blisters on his heal bones. I caught one early enough in the hospital to where the scab just dropped off. However the other heal has now become a bed sore. He developed them early on during his hospital stay. Something new for me to worry about! I'll get it healed one way or another.
I don't like the ointment they gave me to use as there's zinc in it. Now looking for something new. Any feedback is much appreciated!!
I have an awesome support system and love everyone that continues to pray and help us through this! There's no way I could do all of this myself.
I pretty much have everything I need. However Ricky will have on going needs.
For those of you that want to help I will post a list of the things Ricky requires that I will have to come out of pocket for.
As you all know I'm extremely frustrated with this system. It makes zero sense to me. Once you see my list you guys will understand more!
Trying my best to keep this blog going so you guys don't have to
Text everyday .... You still can if you want to though 😘......
Being a full time caretaker is a lonely job 😏
Hi Jill, this Laura - dr J's wife. I use vitamin E gel ( right out of the capsules) to heal wounds. Jeff used it when he scraped his leg on asphalt aft a biking mishap.
ReplyDeletePamelor (antidepressant- low dose) maybe for sleep? Pickle juice for muscle cramps.
DeleteThank you Laura!! I will def try that! We appreciate you guys support throughout all of this! xoxo
