Long day today. Bill did not have a good morning, was extremely tired. Said he woke up about 3:30 and didn't go back to sleep. I don't know how accurate that is because he has a difficult time with time, but he slept deeply most of the morning. At noon we discovered part of the problem. His blood sugar was only 59. So, he actually got to eat about 1/3 of a container of pudding, given by the speech pathologist. It came up after that and he perked up enough to do some therapy. He was much better all afternoon and evening.

I stayed later tonight to monitor his meds. He didn't get his food started at 4 like he should have so I started keeping notes and have an entire page to give to the unit manager Monday morning. He didn't get his meds until 7:30 and the Prograf was given through his tube again. The nurse was very upset about it and when she checked the med cart the box is labeled "gtube". But, the computer system says sublingual. The charge nurse came by while we were talking about it and said it would be fixed, but, he had already been given the meds. The only saving thing about it was that she had not started his food so it was given on an empty stomach.

I hated having to get ugly about it, but enough is enough already! I thought we had this straightened out. Bill also realized that it was done wrong and now he's worried that something bad will happen to him. I told him it was ok that it wouldn't hurt him since his food hadn't started, but he may worry about it all night. I'll ask him in the morning if he got his medicine under his tongue when I get there.

So, it seems like all I have done here tonight is vent. Until the med mix-up it was a so-so day with him not feeling well this morning. We'll see how his night goes and how he is in the morning.
