Nov 2023 - Jan 2024 Team Select

Home Health/School Nurse with lovely, non-verbal female. Met her daily at Rocky mountain High school. Pushed her in her wheelchair to he special needs classes and assisted her with programmed learning IPAD. Bolus fed, changed her brief. Her mother informed me that her feeding tube was leaking, causing skin breakdown, and pain. This reduced her nutritional intake. Over Christmas break, she got quite ill. Spent most of Jan/Feb in Children's hospital. Her mother informed me that her lovely daughter had a stroke mid-March. I pray for them daily.
