Dad's update

Today is Tuesday, my day, to be with Dad. Although Annie's day is everyday, she has been a great help or should I say I have been a help to her. Since I don't know how to work everything.
Last Tuesday Hospice came into their home and evaluated Dad's needs. He was such a show off smiling from ear to ear and cracking jokes. Finally on Friday the bed and hoist was delivered along with many other supplies they are providing. What a huge blessing they are. Just about every day someone is coming in to assist in someway. We still have to do the majority of the work (Mom and Annie) but they have been a great help. This past week Dad has been very alert and back to himself. Since he is in a bed his poor little legs are all skinny again. They were soooooo swollen for so long I had forgotten how skinny his legs are. The bed was put in the family room because there wasn't enough room in their bedroom. This has been a huge relief for Mom since she can finally sleep well. I think they are both sleeping better. Annie and I figured out how to get him in the hoist and transfer him to his chair. He looks like a little child in a swing, I can't help but laugh when we put him in the hoist. Dad has enjoyed all the visitors and attention from Hospice staff. It has lifted all our spirits. The way the floor plan is in their new home is amazingly perfect. The Lord has really blessed us all!
