First Hospice Call

On 11/6/15 we were called by Hospice to come now to the nursing home,  they think it is time.  I hung up and started screaming,  I called Maggie and Jennifer who are my sisters to come be with me.  On the way to hospital, I called my friend Dana and told her what was going on.  It's nice to have a good friend whom you can depend on for comfort.  My family showed up which made me feel better. Marlon and I arrived at nursing home around 8:15 am.   Jammie  kept telling me that she couldn't breath and she was scared.   All of us sat with her and tried our best to comfort her.  Around noon, my family left as Jammie was stabilized and feeling better.  

11/07/15~11/09/15  

Spent most of these dates just being with jammie.  

11/10/15

Drive to Urbana and pick up Mom.  Mom let me know she was unhappy that no one picked her up Friday concerning Jammie.  I told her to pack her bag and she could come home with me and spend a few days.  We could then ride together to go and see Jammie.  Well, that evening Jammie called and was scared.  She told me that she wanted us to come she was short of breath and was scared. She told me that Hospice promised that she would not feel pain and she does.  She wanted me to call hospital because no one was helping her.  I instead called hospice and told them the situation.   We headed to the car and called my brother Bobby and sister Maggie and they wanted to come. When we got to nursing home,  I went over to Jammie so we could talk.  Jammie told me she felt hot and when I touched her she felt very warm.  I went and got the nurse and told him that Jammie was hot and I wanted her temperature checked.  He came in and by that time my brother and sister were there.  Seth the nurse checked her temp and told us that her temp was 103.  

At that point, I was pretty upset because I should not have walked in and have to ask for them to check her temp.  She had told him several times to call Hospice because she was feeling bad.  He did not do as requested but just the opposite.  When Hospice called him he told them she was fine.  I had already called them twice telling Hospice that I wanted them out there to be with Jammie and to give her some comfort.  Jammie really needed something for fever and meds to keep her from being so scared.  My Mom and brother and sister prayed for Jammie. She is feeling better and is relaxing.  

It's 10:30 pm and we decide to go home.  The nurse said he would call if anything changed.  I am still upset that Hospice did not show up tonight.  Come to find out that the nurse was saying all was ok so they did not send anybody.  After our talk from now on if Jammie or myself calls someone will come immediately.
