Mobility is important. Nursing recommendations are to change positions every two hours for bedridden patients, however, in your son’s case you might want to ask the home health nurse for advice. Also, depending on the wound, sometimes it’s recommended to air out the wound at times( again it depends on the treatment plan.

Thank you so much for your advice. I may be over reacting but like I said before in the 24 years I have raised him, he’s never had a bedsore so trying to manage it myself has been hard but not nearly as hard as it is for my son. Again, I thank you very much.
