Mom is still at Georgetown

She was admitted to Georgetown Wednesday night. They put in an IV and she pulled it out a few hours later. She got evaluated by PT and OT who were both really pleased with her progress. They think she is strong enough to go to an acute rehab facility. But we are not sure if any of the acute facilities will take TPN. She was supposed to get a port put in yesterday that would make it easier for them to put the line back in when she pulls it out. But her blood work was questionable (they thought she might have an infection) so they did not do it. They put in an IV line and were giving her fluids and PPN (we think, Dad is not sure). They also put some gloves on her that are supposed to keep her from scratching and pulling out the line. When Dad got there this morning, she had pulled out the line again, and her gloves were bloody. Dad asked them to give her some benadryl since she is so itchy. We will see if that helps. Now there is more concern about infection. Once again, I am not sure what is going to happen.
