Update Monday Sept.29 9:14pm Today has been a rough day. The CT of her lungs was clear and the Ultrasound lady came in to check her legs for clots. Just as she was getting set up Transport came in to take Tiffany McCullock to surgery to have the feeding tube placed in her belly. This was around 3:00pm. The surgery was over around 3:20pm and they called me back to recovery around 4pm. Tiffany was really talking out of her head. She didn’t know Casey yesterday at all and didn’t know me a few times. Today she hasn’t known anyone at all and she can’t tell us her name although she answers when you call for Tiffany. Today has been the worst day by far for knowing people and names. She keeps talking about a “situation”, “I’ve got a situation”, etc. She seems to get stuck on certain words, names, or phrases. Right now she is constantly mumbling, talking out her head about all kinds of things. I know this kind of thing can be expected but given where she has been this is really hard. I was thinking tonight it seems the not knowing people started around the same time her heart rate started get up? It’s also about the same time they stopped her nose feeding tube and went back to IV? They also started giving her started giving her Dilaudid pain medication in her IV verses the Oxycodone in her feeding tube? One good thing today is the tube is out of her nose and we removed the mitts and the restraints! She is so much more calm. Before when awake she was constantly pulling and tugging at the restraints. One time a few days ago she looked very clear and looked down at her hands. She said “what’s this all about?” I explained we were protecting her hands and the tube in her nose. I assured her the hands were fine and we were just helping her. She said “why am I locked up in here?” She was clearly understanding things were not right. Her agitation is much better now that she isn’t dealing with all that. I had planned to leave today for a while but since he has been like this I’m not leaving. I’m having trouble finding time to really get in the Word. I take authority and pray over her everyday and quote scripture over her but there is so much going on that I’m so busy all day. Right now I’m kind of on auto pilot and doing what I know to do. Please continue to pray for healing and full restoration even better than before.
