Dad was alone today with Mom from 9am until about 2pm and he survived! Good job Dad, we knew you could do it! He is doing an awesome job taking care of Mom. The hospice nurse came today and so did the assistant that gives mom a bath. When Kanani and I showed up later this afternoon mom was sleeping, kinda, her eyes were closed but she was talking. . .in a different language. She seems in a different world today. Her eyes aren't focusing on you when you talk to her and she is distant.

Mom doesn't take Lasix any more! She hated that medicine. It makes you void to try to get rid of the swelling. Her arms are back to normal and her feet and legs are much better. She is starting to get sores though. Pray that they don't get any worse than they are. Most are mild, but could get worse.

Our thanks goes to Philis Jean. It seem like she always shows up just in time to do the dirty work(whatever it may be that day). She jumps right in and shows us how it's done!

Melissa Lunt has been a real life saver too. She comes whenever dad has questions or we need her help for different things. She is so gentle with mom and has such a soothing manner about her.

Laureen Bryce is always here in a flash whenever we need an extra person to help. Thanks Laureen!

And thank you to Aunt Leora and Aunt Marja who come daily and Uncle Clarence who drops in often. Thanks for being here to visit. We enjoy your company!
