Peggy's eyes have been better today. Not a lot of communication, but here eyes are definitely less red. We believe that patching the eyes really helps clear them up. You may even find that you need to keep alternating the patches from eye to eye until her eyes get better.
FYI - when you use Tobradex, don't flush her eyes after because Peggy tells us that it burns her eyes and it also seems to make them red and irritated. So, use the Tobradex, then wait 30 minutes before putting anything else in them.
Cory came by today to collect a urine sample to check for a UTI, but was not able to get one. She left a cup, so we'll try to get one later today. We need to refrigerate it and then call HCA to pick it up. We got to visit and catch up with her for a little while.
Peggy has a bedsore that we are monitoring. Because it is near the pads, the nurses are recommending that we change the pads every 4 hours to avoid infecting the bedsore.
