Proposed Tracking

I think going to Drs. route if we have to would be best. Thanks for the information. Her Dr. seems very concerned about mother and I don't think he would have a problem assisting us, if it comes to that.

Devena and I spoke yesterday and we thought it would be a good idea to wait and see if mother goes to
the appt on 5/11 at the Neuro Science Institute before we attempted to do a "Baker Act."

So, lets give mom a chance for May the 11, (Gail you may want to let her know the consequenses of not going) and if she doesn't go then we can speak with her Doctor regarding his assistance with a Baker Act.

In the meantime, in order to facilitate taking care of mother and improve our communications (this in turn will hopefully give us some peace of mind), I propose that we use the email system to nofity everyone of the following:
who has last seen mom,
what was done
what she may need in the future.

For instance, I know Jessica saw mother on Wednesday (the day she refused to go to the dr.)

Has anyone been since then? If so, please advise by email as soon as you read this. We need to make plans for mom for this weekend.

(as far as I know Jessica was the last to see mother, on Wednesday.
I propose that we each fill out the following information after each visit as a way to keep others informed:

What day did you go.
How was mothers mood.
Does mother appear to be taking her medication.
Does mother need any Rxs filled.
Does mother need groceries.
Any other issues.

I know this adds another task to what is already a lot of work and we all have busy lives, however, I really feel that if we check our emails daily, and then make appropriate plans for mom, we will all be the better for it.

By the way Naomi, if you ( or anyone else ) could put up a dynamic calander on your/a website that we could all access and update with the information that would probably be the best solution.

Thanks to all

Theresa, please forward to Jessica and Rebecca. Others, please forward to anyone you think needs to be on the list that I did not include as I do not have email address for everyone.

Thanks

Jessica

I went to Granny's Tuesday, May 8, I took Daniel there to mow her grass. She seemed fine, maybe a little tired. Just checked all meds and everything was good.
