Marilyn Visit 3-1-08
Called Inola Nursing Center today to check to see if I could visit Marilyn, they said that it was fine to come up as most of the residents were over the flu.
Marilyn was sleeping when I went in, sat for a while until she woke up. When she woke I read her mail to her, she had received a card and a letter. Sometimes you could hear her verbalize her words today. I noticed that her bed was raised up higher so she wasn’t laying down so flat. I don’t know if that helped her to be able to talk more.
Rev. Doyle Crain had been up to visit her today.
Her skin seemed very dry, I asked her if she would let me put some cream on her arms and face, she agreed. Her face had some really dry patches on it. Before I left I put some more cream on her face and arms.
Marilyn said that she had a headache and the nurse gave her some medicine, a little later she was given a breathing treatment, Marilyn said that the breathing treatments have been giving her headaches also.
The TV was not on in her room and I asked if she wanted me to turn it on before I left and she said no she just wanted to sleep.
