Frustration
While I am really happy with the general staff at the hospital and all I'm starting to get frustrated.
I have lost count how many times I have been asked what medication she was on. Last night while talking to the transplantation coordinator she asked. I said I had already toldlike 12 people and saw a nurse write it down at least once while she talked to mom's PCP.
But there was NOTHING in her chart.
This morning I get a call and expect it to be word about her pulonology consult for whether or not she will survive past the one hour window for organ donation after she gets off the vent. No it's the morning call from the neurology team to say there is no change. The nurse says she saw nothing in the chart ordering the pulonology consult or anything from "units" (aka the transplant coordinator)
This whole ordeal between the hospital and still not being able to find mom's life insurance policy has had me wanting to scream at the top of my lungs the immortal words of Mairi
WHERE'S THE DOCUMENTATION?!?!?!?!
In a little bit I'mgoing to head back over to mom's to continue looking and make more phone calls to see if I can locate someone who is holding the policy.
Yes we called State Farm (where mine and my sister's is through), we called First colonial (that dad's was through), we have gone through 7 years worth of pay stubs and check books. NOTHING. But I am still not ready to give up hope.
I also need to talk to our lawyer today about how to we get the estate expidited and funds freed as quickly as possible in case we can't find the policy and have to pay the $7k out of pocket.

But there is no reference on old pay stubs for life insurance, no mention in 7 years worth of checkbooks for a payment that could hav been life insurance.
It's just frustrating.
I'mnow waiting for the lawyer to call me back in case we need his help in dealing with the funeral home and having to wait for the estate to open up some of mom's funds.
