A care aide was just out to bathe momwolf. She also helped me to change momwolf's brief. In doing so we made what is a pretty scary discovery. There was fecal material in the brief ... as you may recall, momwolf has a colostomy.
The hospice nurse has been informed of this, didn't offer any suggestions in terms of what it might be. The nurse will be out tomorrow morning to see momwolf.
The care aide was great though, momwolf roused a bit during the sponge bath, but not in any significant degree.
Things have moved so fast. She was up and talking on Thursday, and although not entirely with us, was able to celebrate her birthday with siswolf and I on Friday. Perhaps this is what they talk about ... that people try to make it through some milestone date, and then things just start happening more quickly from then on.
