Today I worked with mom. She brought in the book from the class at the hospital. I asked her how the class went, she said that it was really good and she learned so much information, and feels like she knows what to do know if the baby goes into a crisis. I smiled and asked her, how she felt about that. She said it makes her feel like she is in more control and that it makes her a better mother. I said that must be a really good feeling. I asked her what was the new information that she learned that will help her. She said the most important thing she learned was that when the baby is running a fever that she needs to take her right to the er and get medical attention right away. She said that at home they were treating the fever, but that was not what they should be doing. She said this will help her prevent long hospital stays by being able to catch the infection before it gets bad. At this point, I was so proud that mom took the time to go to the hospital, and learn about this condition.
I asked her how bedtime was going, and she said the articles that I gave her were helpful, and that they are working on a bedtime routine. I asked her if she needed any other information on bedtime routines, and she said no. I asked her if her classes were going okay, and she said yes. I asked her what her plans were for the rest of the day and mom said that she was going to go to the temp agency and see if they have any work for her. I said that sounds like a good plan. I told her that our time together to work one on one would be ending, I asked her how she felt about it. She said that she is glad that we had devoted so much time to work on the goals that she has for herself.
