Grandma's weight seems to have stabilized around 93 pounds. She does have a relatively low heart rate (probably due to the influence of the Carvidilol) but not so low as to be of concern (e.g. it does not cause light headedness) so Dr. Terharr did not alter her medication.
We have several people scheduled now from Hospice:
The volunteer companion is coming on Wednesday to have lunch with Lil and sit and talk and maybe go for a drive.
The home-maker is coming Friday to do chores like wash the kitchen floor and clean the bathroom, as well as make a lasagna or something to last the week for lunches.
The social worker is trying to set up a time with the home health-care aid to introduce her to Lil and maybe do some foot care and lotion/massage. (Evidently she came last week at a time I didn't know about and wasn't there and grandma turned her away not knowing who she was.)
And of course, Elaine is coming on Tuesdays.
Anyway, there's just a ton of people to coordinate but it will be great when it's all in place.
We are still thinking of hiring someone for Thursday nights next quarter when both Marty and I have class since it will need to be someone who can both have dinner with Lil and put our boys to bed.
