This was Jon's comment we overheard when he was talking with his dad on the phone. He has been moved back to Liberty West. He's feeling much better although I'm still convinced he's having some thought process difficulty. He's well aware of the seriousness of his latest UTI. There had already been some damage to the kidneys before this last infection and new damage showed on the CAT scan. However, I'm still not sure we've convinced him how much water is enough. Not sure the staff is helping either--they seem to be giving the impression he's getting plenty of water....
Have again asked for a patient conference, this time with the social worker who was on vacation when I asked the assistant director of nursing about setting one up. I'd like to see him on some combination of food and the feeding tube if we can't go back to food and ensure. One of the reasons he stopped eating breakfast was he'd gained some weight and figured that could be a solution.
Am going up today...will keep you posted.
