Mom's still in a lot of pain, and this is the plan as put forth by the hospice nurse:
Mom is going to be on Oxycodone, a mild narcotic, to help her with her breathing and the pain. 0.1 ml for mild pain, 0.25 for moderate pain, and 0.5 (the maximum dosage) for severe pain.
If she becomes anxious or agitated, we're going to use Ativan to calm her down.
We will use Atropine to help clear her mucus (I think).
We're getting Tylenol in tablet and suppository form to help fight any fevers she gets.
All of this is in addition to the medications she already has at hand - Amoxicillin as an antibiotic, Albuterol as an inhalant to help the shortness of breath, Coumadin/Warfarin to fight the thrombosis in her leg, and the extra-strength cough syrup.
