It's the little things

One of the things that has been a bit of a downer is that all food seems to taste mushy and bland to Nana whenever her lungs are affected with the fluid retention.  Part of this might be attributed to her low salt diet, but even with fruit?

Yesterday was a busy day for Nana.  Both the home nurse and the physical therapist stopped by.  She did fine with both, but her pulse always seems to be on the low side and the nurse was worried about the increased swelling in the legs. She called Dr M. to tell him about the changes and he changed Nana's medicine.

Today, Nana's weight was down about 6 pounds from yesterday, and she's breathing a bit easier. We're thankful for that!  Laura says that her legs are still swollen, but when Nana ate a banana for breakfast, she was able to taste it!  For the first time in a long while, it didn't taste like mush. We're hoping that means her lungs are clearing up!
