8/4 - Wednesday

1:30 pm - Mom had a restful night. Breakfast was a little rough and didn't stay down. She is resting comfortably right now. The doctors started abdomen feeding tube about half an hour ago. She is at 20 ml. an hour - 70 ml / hour is our goal.

The doctors are considering moving her to a long-term acute care facility in Grand Rapids. This is not a nursing home. It is a Spectrum Health facility - Spectrum Health Special Care Hospital. They have specialists that are present at the facility and approach the patient with the team method - much like Mayo Clinic. We are thinking this will be a good move for mom, mainly because they cannot do any more for her up here at Gerber.
