Doc reported no UTI from lab results, but will keep her on the antibiotics now so it does not backlash. Had a physiologist meet with her on Sunday? Or earlier today not sure, said she is depressed, he wants to give her anti-depressants I said NO.  I am working with a homeopath on that and giving her Star of Bethlehem in the mean time. He said he wanted to give her Ritalin, http://www.nytimes.com/1999/02/02/health/new-therapy-helps-some-stroke-patients.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm because it will help after a stroke? I said ok. I told the doc that her nights and days are missed up and she gets energized at night when his techs are off work. He didn’t seem to empathize. I called Dr. Carty to get involved.

Had a good session with Marie the ST. She did give me exercises to do with mom. I will work with her in the afternoons when she is more awake.

They moved her to bed A where she can see out the door and it may help her be more involved. She is not watching TV or listening to music or having any other interaction with people.

I called the night nurse Linda and asked for ear plugs and that they do not get her up at 5:45 AM. And not until 7:00 preferably.

Her friend Jay called her and she liked that. When I spoke to Mom in the evening she said the staff said I called and asked for her to get a bath. I did not and we both knew it. Not good for them to make up lies, even little white ones.
