The “Carousel” Ride

Today started with a phone call from the care center at 2:00 in the afternoon telling us that Sheila was upset and had been screaming for about 25 minutes. It seems she was confused about what the activity was for the afternoon. She wanted singing time (which is the first and third Saturday s of the month) and did not want the movie. By the time that Holly and I got to the nursing home she had calmed down and she was in watching the movie with some of the other residents. We stayed and watched the musical “Carousel” with her.

We found out today that the urinary tract infection that she has is resistant to the antibiotic she was given on Friday. They switched the antibiotic and we hope this one will work.

She seemed to be doing better throughout the day. Hopefully we can find out what is contributing to her discomfort so that we can keep her comfortable.
