Thankful for a couple milestones today on the challenging road of skilled nursing /hospice politics:
The first is the facilities documentation was finally solid enough that we got the attention of the hospice nurse practitioner that Gary's been having more frequent and intense episodes of agitation that have required doses of Klonopin (clonazepam) to relieve. This is a result of me and my family pressing for his safety and comfort with the nursing facility staff, enough to get their attention and document his agitation and restlessness to help keep him comfortable.
Second milestone is, not only did I receive a call from the hospice nurse practitioner asking my consent to increase Gary's Klonopin availability to 3x/day from 1x/day, but 45 minutes later, the facility also called me to double-check they had my consent. Breakthrough monitoring on behalf of both entities!
So thankful for the progress we've made!
