I brought Sophie and Olivia to see Bill this evening. They had been looking forward to it the whole week. Dr. McKinney had ok'ed their visit, provided that they donned gown, gloves, and masks. They loved putting these on and looked very cute in them! But Bill was in and out of sedation. He managed a weak smile or two at the kids. But the effects of nearly 48 hours worth of starvation was visible: he was even more gaunt and was too tired for any meaningful contact with the kids. Abigail said that a nurse in training might have been responsible in blocking the G-tube leading to feeding stoppage. I can't believe they'd have nurse in training to practice on such gravely ill patients. Hopefully on Monday we can get a meeting arranged with ombudswoman to get a better answer on his dramatic weight loss and the problem with constantly changing staff.
My sister Sunny dropped by on her way back from work. She loves Bill and has been a frequent visitor at the hospital. I am grateful to her!

Kris -it was so great to see Sophie and Olivia- they are so awesome and cute and curious. their water color paintings are both way more advanced than mine!
ReplyDeleteAbigail, can you tell me as much as possible what you heard McKinney say about the nurse in training? When and how did this happen? Do they have any names of the nurses involved??
