Things are still not going well with Zoe's mom. Wednesday we talked with her doctor, Dr. Khalighi, at Western State Hospital. Her Anemia is worse and he wanted to do a blood transfusion but we ended up more confused than ever as to what would be best for Gerry. Gerry's Alzheimer's would make it very difficult for her to be in another facility without her usual supporting care givers. Thursday Zoe had a physical with her doctor, Dr. Waite, who used to be Gerry's doctor. She spent the time talking to Dr. Waite about her mom and Dr. Waite ended up talking to Dr. Khalighi. Dr. Waite was then able to clarify a lot of things. That night Zoe wrote and faxed a letter to Gerry's ward about how we wanted Gerry cared for. We went down Sunday and fed Gerry. She was in a very good mood but showing signs of dehydration since she hasn't been eating or drinking. She only seems to eat and drink when she is with us. We will try going down more often but that is hard since it takes up a whole day. Thursday we will be taking my mom out to dinner and will go see Gerry after. See Zoe's post for more and a copy of the letter. We are overwhelmed by how much everyone taking care of Gerry loves her.
