Went up to see her today. This hospital I geuss has a policy that a person with a new chest tube has to be in ICU! So she is on complete bedrest. Because of her skin and bones state and poor nutrition she has several bedsores and between those and the chest tube she is in a lot of pain. I don't understand why when she had a chest tube for 2 weeks she didn't have any pain with it but this new one is excrutiating. I think she will be released to an extended care hospital. I wish she still had a feeding tube in. They are just relying on her to eat good.

She is going home tomorrow. My only fear is her not getting the proper nutrtion. She said her doctor told her no restrictions. Maybe he is thinking she needs to eat anything she wants, get muscle and fat wieght up and then start eating properly. They are also finding a new family practice MD for her, her last one just had to many patinets and didnd't pay enough attention. How can you let a 5'5'' person get down to 88 pounds?
