I just got off the phone with one of Marilyn's RN friends from New Jersey. She's on her way to help, she should be here by tomorrow.
Right now our plan is to get her released to hospice care --- at home.
Once we get her, we are going to drive her to Shands Emergency. They have to take her.
EXCELLENT IDEA!!!!
PRAYERS!!!!!
Maybe they won't be able to do anymore for Marilyn at Shands, but we are sure going to give it a try.
Today Marilyn was quiet, slept most of the time I was there. I told her that Claudia was coming and we were going to get her our of there --- she said 'good!".
I brought a power of attorney form to the hospital today, hoping to get Marilyn to sign it and have the notary there notarize it ... but the hospital said 'no' ... that she was not competent enough... that I'll have to go thru the probate court to get guardianship.
Mary Ann, I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you and all my other FReeper friends have reponded to this crisis.
I'll keep you posted.
Alice
