We had a close call with the mother-in-law today

Hubby‘s brother and brother‘s wife picked up the mother-in-law today to take her out to their home to show her their Halloween decorations and to cook her lunch. But while they were there, the nurse on duty was late, giving mother-in-law her medications and said something to the effect that they were out of Prozac. Sister-in-law texted me that I texted back that mother-in-law doesn’t take Prozac.. It was very concerning so I tried calling the nursing station at the memory care facility and nobody answered. We only live about 7 miles away so I drove there and met the nurse that made that statement this morning and she said that she had misspoken. She did in fact say the word Prozac, but she meant to say a different drug name. She showed me her paperwork where she wrote down that the facility needed to order more of the other drug for my mother-in-law. So you can see why I was nervous that perhaps mother-in-law had received the wrong medication. But it all turned out just fine. I always post a pink picture with any posts about mother-in-law because her favorite color is pink. Well the site isn’t letting me post a picture right now so I’ll try again later.

Yeah, my first day back and pictures don't work. Oh well. Glad it was all sorted out. My mom is doing horribly. Maybe I will post about it.

Quite right to be worried. It shows how much you care for MIL that you drove straight there to check the details. She is indeed lucky to have you .

I agree, that would have worried me, too. I'm glad she didn't get the wrong meds.
