Got the word from Dad today that Andie's catheter was removed again - hopefully for good this time. Apparently in the effort to communicate that it was removed there was some pantomime involved, then there was some confusion about exactly when it was taken out cause Andie said it was at three - today- but it was only noon when we were talking and it was already out. We have a calendar and lists of days of the week and months for Andie to use to get re-oriented as far as time. The brain injury mixes things up other than just the exchange of meaningful information.
She's getting meals in the dining room three times a day and the aides watch how much everyone eats and record it. If she doesn't get enough calories the old fashioned way they supplement it with some tube feeding. Dima has Ice hockey practice tonight so we're rushing now to get homework done, dinner eaten and then get him dressed. This is Chris's department but I've got to handle it tonight and I dread doing this stuff cause it's like mass confusion once you get into the rink with all the screaming kids, Josh could skate with the big kids but he also likes hanging out upstairs on the bleachers to watch.
