The Nursing Situation

You might not be a good nurse for Lynnea if...

...you don't know how to work a feeding pump.
...you don't know how to work an oximeter.
...you don't know how to read a med sheet.
...you don't know how to change a diaper.
...you don't know how to give meds through a G-tube.

And those are just a few of the issues we've had with nurses over the past two weeks. We are now in the process of switching homecare agencies because we feel that we shouldn't have to be more worried about Lynnea's health and well-being when we have a nurse in the house than when we don't have a nurse in the house.

Lynnea had another good day today. She and Ashlyn enjoyed going for two walks today because the weather was so nice (not too hot, not too cold, and not too humid to take Lynnea out). Again Lynnea managed to make it through the day without needing any extra oxygen, though she's still coughing a lot.
