Christmas Eve in Home Care

Published

So I have a VA patient that I've been seeing since July 30, non healing sacral and hip wound. Admission weight was 94 lbs. After months of antibiotic theray which would make the patient sicker and nauseated, I have managed to get his weight to 107.8 lbs. Some might think that I'm a pitiful home health nurse, but I view it as an accomplishment.

Its a Christmas miracle, and I believe I saw a little twinkle in his eye today. Merry Christmas to all.

Say Merry Christmas to your patient for us. And Merry Christmas to you too!

Absolutely NOT a pitiful HH nurse! It's not as though he's in a facility and you can manage everything regarding his diet/intake on a daily basis. I'm sure you've done a great job and the best you can!

Merry Christmas

Great job and Merry Christmas to both of you. If not done already, get an order for a protein level.
