Hello everyone,
I am sending out a request for prayers for Dawn-Marie.
For the last week or so, she has been really down because she has got viral bronchitis. She contracted it from her aide, who should NOT have been making visits to patients & exposing them to her illness.
Dawn called me a few minutes ago to tell me that if I called her & she didn't answer her phone then most likely she had been taken to the hospital. This morning when her aide went over, Dawn passed out for like 10 minutes due to choking on the phlemgm (?) that she cannot cough up due to her paralysis. They put in a call to her doctor but he won't be in until this afternoon around 1 pm so until then Dawn is by herself. I made her promise to alert one of her neighbors or the other tenants near by to have them go by & check on her until she can get hold of her doctor.
I also took it upon myself to contact Life Line Alert in her area to get something set up for her for quick medical response. I hope she does not get offended by this but I am besides myself with worry.
Do you think I did the right thing? I've tried calling her within the last few minutes but her phone is busy so I sent her an email & I'm hoping she will be seeing it soon. She did get her computer fixed but the poor thing has been feeling so bad she hasn't even been able to get on her PC!
Thanks for your thoughts & prayers. I know she'll appreciate them!
