How Joann’s Day Went:

Awoke to find a significant amount of blood (4-inch-diameter) blotch mixed with saliva on her bed sheet. This caused me to call the VNA to report. She is also having "light-headedness," and "wobbliness." Generally, Joann had a tough day. The VNA brought her a foam mat to help support her body while she sleeps, maybe this will help with her bleeding, if she is more upright. No cards tonight like we have been used to, she couldn’t focus well. We went to bed at 11:00 PM.
