Thank you, everyone, for your prayers. I’m sure it helped! Dad’s aide for the day, a CNA named Beverly, is Pentecostal, and she and I had the Spirit moving in the emergency room.
Dad was not able to urinate because of his prostate swelling because he couldn’t swallow one of his medicines the last couple of days. They had to put in a catheter, which took half a dozen large young medical personnel even after they gave him a sedative.
We took him back home, but Mom is trying to get two aides for a while, until he calms down after the ER visit. Then we met with a lady who has a business of helping people negotiate the elder-care system. She’s going to help Mom work with the admin of the current facility and also be looking for a new place.
We both feel better after this meeting. I wish I could stay longer, but DP has to go on a trip on Monday and can’t get out of it. However, my brother and his wife are coming the middle of next week, so Mom will only have to get through a few days.
Thanks for keeping us posted. Prayers continuing.
The news is good, thanks! We are still praying for all of you, including the family left at home.
It sounds as if the prayers are working mightily, and that’s what we intended!
I’m sure your mother is grateful to have you with her during this trying time. And it also sounds as if putting your dad in a new facility will be the best thing for him. He doesn’t seem to be getting what he needs where he is.
Hang in there, Girl! *hug*
That little kitteh is still up for adoption. Is she waiting for me? I went to Walmart.com and found that the initial outlay will not be as devastating as I originally thought. The only thing I didn’t include was food, and that can’t be all that expensive.
Just makes me all the more determined to provide a home for a special little kitteh...
Prayers T-c, prayers.
