Changed Hospice agencies already. I just had too many red flags and couldn't stop feeling something wasn't jiving. Very hard thing to do. I called myself to change..... sad to tell people I know it's the wrong fit. New hospice started this afternoon. I feel a great weight off my shoulders. It was right for us.
Tim and Catherine T came over this morning to help me get Dave out of bed, etc. Just when I thought no temp....it was 99.4 and then 100.1 so Tylenol around 10:30 this morning. Then off to work for me. We played Chick Corea music for Dave all day. He seemed more interactive and made several comments. Tim talked to him about musicians, etc. Tim got our camera working....YEAH! Lindsey was here late afternoon and when I got home hospice came over. We'll see them again tomorrow. Catherine and I got Dave up before she left. We ate dinner ala the Mierau's on the deck. I think Dave enjoyed the change of view, we haven't been outside for a couple days. Then Mike Holmes came by with a video (or DVD) he made of the Camp David performances. He's going to bring an big screen and we may watch it in the back yard Saturday night. It's suppose to be nice out. More on that tomorrow.
Julie Lester came by to help me get Dave back to bed. Our dear friend Nita lost her husband in a MVA Monday evening. Our hearts go out to her. He was good to Dave and me....love you Nita.
peace, love, groove
It was a good day to get outside. This is our Indian Summer for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe weekend should be nice too
ReplyDeleteTough love is good, mom was right after all. Music is a map and songs that Dave hears that he knows how to play will turn his pathways on. My Grandma had the Allegan fairgrounds. You get her going and she would turn on and describe the whole place and then come back for a minute. Music also has timing and Dave will know when the end is coming, the big finish, so playing music and talking about will get some uptime. The study on this says the more you play it the more it does it so play music all the time you can.
ReplyDeleteJohn, it would seem you are following in your father's footsteps. How did you get so wise?
ReplyDeleteLee, I'm psyched to do some yardwork at your house on Saturday!
We're doing it John! Can't wait til Saturday Elisa.
