Helen being turned when Isaac & I arrived to 1530.

Saw her at about 1600.  Looks ok.  Had to ask for suction because she isn't coughing.  I didn't think the suctioning cleared it very well.

She has compression socks on.  Big toe on left foot is sore.  Looks like some over granulation tissue.  Heel on left foot is very red with a round red mark approximately 5 cm diameter.  Photos have been taken.  I asked the nurse about it and she said they knew about it but did not know where it had come from, saying it may have been there when she came from HDU.  It was not there in Holy Cross.

I spoke with Holy Cross.  She confirmed that Helen did not have any pressure sores when she left them. I let her know that the hospital was still waiting for the size 7 trachy and that the only one in her bag was a 6.  She said that there would have been 2 in there, a 6 & 7.  The 7 had gone missing somewhere.

I do not know what they are using to brush her teeth.  The toothpaste from Holy Cross is still unopened. I think she is being washed in Hibiscrub!!

Questions to be answered

Where did the trachy go missing?
Why was her trachy changed for a 7.5?
Where did she get the pressure sore n her heel?
Have her teeth been brushed?
Is she on oxygen and why?
Why was I told the trachy would be in the next day by 4pm and today was told that it was a 7 working day time?

Pissed off is an understatement!!!
