Thanks for hanging in there with me through my sparseness of entries. Life keeps taking twists and turns...As you might have read in my last post, my parents' need for care has heightened in the past 6 weeks.
Two weeks ago my mother, with advanced Alzheimer's, fell while at my brother and sister-in-law's house where my parents are now living, and broke her wrist. She was hospitalized in the geriatric psychiatric unit and eventually placed in a wonderful Alzheimer's center while Medicare covers it for the next 100 days. My dad continues to go through his treatments and living at my brother's home.
While I have to work full time and keep my income and benefits going, I'm limited in daily concrete care, but try to help with service coordination and assisting with some respite. In the meantime, I'm supposed to be finding a house and planning a wedding. All this, while emotionally trying to cope with the inevitable decline of my parents.
Those of you who pray, please pray for God's grace on all of us. These kind of crises can stress family relationships even when all are well intended. Pray for God's protection from that. Also, pray for the well being of my parents...not to mention financial considerations regarding all decisions made in the future.
I did make a trip back to West Virginia over Memorial Day weekend to decorate my parents' parents graves on their behalf. I will share that with you when I download the pictures off of my camera.
I need to find my needle and stitch...but my heart is just too heavy.
Love to you all,
