Mom's Eye

Just an update. I've included the prior email content just to have in one place.

Maggie took Mom to the eye doctor. She said she was happy to do it, "Praise the Lord", "it was not at all a problem", "they're just sitting there any way". That's good news.

Doctor Caldwell(sp?) has changed Mom's meds. Discontinue new drops, continue with prior drops (in frig, I forget the name) 4 times/day, Genteal gel 4times/day, bacterium ointment only at bedtime (no longer in morning) and Optiva drops as needed. Keep eye clean as we can.

Dr's office will be calling Maggie with appt time for next Monday. Maggie says she is happy to take Mom.

Also, Mom's leg looks better today and is not weeping.

Also, I called the house this morning thinking they would have been back from the appt but got the answering machine. Somehow the "welcome message" has been deleted and all you hear is garbled sounds. Could someone re-record the message?




Prior:
"I left the following note on the blog last night but thought I would copy and resend this morning since there were no comments when I checked this morning and I'm not sure if anyone saw it.

I called the doctor's office again last night and talked to Dr. Caldwell who was on-call. He agreed to suspend the new med and asked that Mom come in this morning to see him. We now have a 10:00 appt to see him. Maggie will be taking Mom. She says she has no problem doing it. If Dan or Tom would rather go, just contact Maggie to make that change.

"Maggie called late this afternoon to tell me that Mom's eye is much worse today - much redder. Since it might be caused by the new eye drops I told her to discontinue use of that for tonight (only one more round any way) and that I would call the doctor's office.

Called and left a detailed message and asked for an appt for tomorrow (Thurs). I'll call again in the morning to make sure we get one. Maggie said she would have no problem taking Mom so, unless anyone has an objection, that is what we'll do. Please let me know if you think we should take another approach."
