Dear Friends,
We are both soul weary. This is a very difficult time for u and our family and for all who love us.
Marla left this am, but my sister and her family are here. Such a gift. They bring love, and laughter and good conversation.
Neil has been very chatty. Yesterday after being in bed for 4 days the nurses used the hoyer to put him
In his wheelchair and he was able to take a spin around the grounds , after which joel and marla and Brenda and her family , neil and I all had dinner together in the dinning room. It was such a treat for neil to be out of bed. We will try to get him out every day. He was going stir crazy.. He is still amazing in so many ways.
He is very aware of what is happening to him. Each day he grows weaker and can do less. How does one live watching pieces of him/herself disappear each day?
Hospice is wonderful. All of the workers kind/compassionate/loving. He has charmed all of the nurses, no surprise there.
They will evaluate him this week and tell us where they think we shd go from here.
