Journal entry by Danielle Fastert —
Good Evening Everyone-
It has been 12 days since my last update on mom. Since the last update she was moved to Encompass Health Rehab Hospital on the 16th to do intense rehab for more cognitive work to hopefully get her memory fully back. She is still having quite a few episodes of doing & saying random things that just don’t make sense. And she is quite forgetful still. But she ambulates quite well. Also, she will be loosing more of her index finger and a lot of her thumb, they both are quite necrotic.
Well since she has been at Encompass Health mom has refused any rehab. :/ She doesn’t want to leave her room most of the time. She also refuses one of her heart meds that prevents blood clots, Lovenox. Unfortunately, her refusing these things has put us at a bad spot. Insurance will now stop paying and mom will have to be moved out of his amazing rehab hospital to another facility by early next week. Makes my heart break.
Some hard decisions will be made in the next few days about the best placement for mom where she will be safe, help her memory come back more, and she will also enjoy(best she can).
I know people have been wondering & that’s all I got for now. Not a whole lot has changed since she got to Select Speciality. Which is good! I will update once I know our next step.
☯️❤️🙏🏼
