Medications:

270 mg. Extended Release Morphine Suppositories (3 doses).

1950 mg. Tylenol Supp (650-mg, for fever) in (3 doses).

50-mg/500-mg. Diazepam 10-mg., Phenobarbital 100-mg. Suppositories (5 doses).

How Joann’s Day Went:

Condition unchanged. She remains in a medically induced coma because of her pain.

VNA nurse Kathy and VNA home healthcare aid Joyce stopped by today. Both confirmed that Joann’s spirit had moved on or at least that her body was completely unresponsive. As for everything else, no change. Joann’s comfort level was maintained with lower medication levels, probably due to timing that is more appropriate and structured application.

For me, it was a weepy day. I know I’ve lost my life-partner, but gained a few friends along the way. Maudlinism is the theme today.
