Marilyn Visit 9-17-08
Marilyn was awake this evening when I stopped by to visit. She immediately said, get me the hell out of here. I asked her what was going on and she said that she wants to go home, she is tired of being there. I tried to explain the best that I could to her that she could not go home because of the ventilator. Marilyn’s nurse Sherri came in to geive her a breathing treatment, and she said she was glad that she had some company. She said that Marilyn had been wanting to go home all day. Marilyn had a letter and a card that I read to her, had to borrow Marilyn’s glasses to read them. Marilyn did give me permission to use her glasses. After reading her mail and putting her glasses back she told me to take her glasses off and put them up. Told her that I already did that, she said no take them of her. Showed her that they were in the closet and she was finally satisfied.
Marilyn stayed awake the whole visit this evening and she didn’t want me to leave. Told her that it was starting to get dark and I needed to get back on the road as it would be dark before I got home. She asked me to get Sherri, reminded her that Sherri had gone home for the day and she would be back tomorrow. Marilyn said send anyone in here then I need to be suctioned. On the way out I asked a nurse if she could suction Marilyn.
