Healing
Aware of Awesomeness
Last night I slept a few hours straight, then woke often thinking about my mother. I made myself stay in bed until close to sunrise. Then I was up and back to hospital. She was actually speaking even better than she was when we left last night. The nurses completed neurological tests every hour all […]
Miraculous Stroke Improvement
This morning started out like most, my mom and dad got up, took their pills, and we talked about how they were feeling. My mom has felt weak the last couple of days, but that comes and goes. She was hungry, which was a good sign. After breakfast, I was working in the kitchen and […]
Much Needed Massage
It has been a crazy hectic few months. I have been busy, busy trying to do my best to make sure my parents have what they need and help my sister get her place in order and meals prepared so she doesn’t have too much to worry about as her broken leg continues to heal. […]
Back to the Cabin
It has been a wild summer for sure with too many medical issues happening back to back. I barely remember back to June when my parents and I were packing up to head to their cabin in the mountains for a little get away. We didn’t make it that day, and since then it has […]
An Awesome Therapist
Since my sister broke her leg a few weeks ago, she has been visited by an occupational therapist. When we first saw him, it was at my parents home. Since that first time, he has been caring, humble, and respectful. He has encouraged my sister the whole time and helped her solve problems with only […]
A Good Day
This morning my sister got all ready and we both went to church. When we have gone out until this point, we have used her wheelchair so she doesn’t have to slowly hop her way around on crutches or the walker. But today we brought along her walker which seems to be the easiest device […]
Back At Home
After 6 weeks, it finally happened – we brought my sister to her house yesterday. Since she broke her leg and had surgery, she has been unable to put any weight on it all. So, she has been staying with my parents and I. Their house is a little easier to get around and such. […]
And Exhale
Today was the day my dad had his pacemaker implanted. It was an early morning as we made our way to the hospital in the dark. My mom stayed at the house with my sister. My dad was one of the first to have a procedure done, along with 2 other men. They checked in […]
Prepared
My dad will be having surgery tomorrow to have a pacemaker implanted. He scheduled it a couple of weeks ago when it was discovered that his heart rate was dropping periodically. He decided to wait until things settled a little – his broken thumb would be well into the healing process and my sister who […]
Healed Thumb
My dad has been wearing a splint on his broken thumb for weeks. It kept his thumb straight and he laughed about his permanent “thumb’s up”. Of course, it has been tedious trying to do things with only 1 working thumb – and that one being his left one when he is right-handed. But he […]
