Shampoo Anyone?





Hello All:



I had all intentions of getting an update out much earlier......my apologies. Meanwhile back to business, Kristin! She is trying to get settled in her new temporary address and I must say it's not going as well as we may have wished. There is a huge culture and staff adjustment. The nurses often appear unprofessional and a far stretch from reassuring. It also does not appear that any of the nurses are communicating with each other, as each nurse does things a little different than the last, which means that mom and Kristin have to "teach" the new nurse what things have worked and what things haven't. There have been some staff that are up to the task, but for the most part we have been a little disappointed. The energy in that place is largely different than that of the hospital. As we all know, in situations like this, a good bedside manner and proven ability can make situations like this much more bearable and comfortable. However Kristin CONTINUES to remain hopeful and determined to overcome this obstacle.

Aside from the disappointment we all hold for the rehabs services, we do manage to find humor in it. However joking aside, mom is on the job, and is not taking this lightly. She has been in contact with higher ups and being very vocal in her stern but friendly manner. She continues to be a blessing throughout this time.

Today is "Take Kristin's Stitches Out" day and she is all too pleased about that. This means more progress and it also means that someone can get a hair wash! In situations like this, it's the little things that can bring joy to someone like Kristin! Lather up little sis :)

Until next time......blessings!
