When I got to the floor I asked the nurse to page the psychiatrist ans she sat down and spoke with me. I liked her a lot. By the time she got in to see Ricky earlier today, Ricky's nurse had made a contract with him to take his meds even if he didn't feel like it. The psychiatrist and I went over his history briefly and she promised to contact Dr. J, Ricky's psychiatrist (and her colleague) to update him and ask him to call me. So that was that.
Other than that, our visit was fairly mundane. I did manage to snag a tamale for Ricky (his favorite!) in the hospital cafeteria and he ate that in lieu of most of his dinner. He still hasn't been eating breakfast but today I got some specific input from him about what he wanted for tomorrow's breakfast so perhaps he'll eat that.
His sats were still right around 95 so he's still sick. His sinuses sound better but still a bit congested. The nurse didn't know whether there was going to be an ENT consult as was suggested upon admission. Maybe I can find out tomorrow.
That's it for now! Goodnight!
