Hanging In
We're hanging in there. Jim still not sleeping. Erin stays tonight, Ann last night, Kath the night before. Tomorrow night we're starting with Home Health Aides--we'll try them for 6 nights and then reevaluate. Tomorrow a physical therapist will come (3x/week) and hopefully we'll hear from the Home Health Aide that will come 3x/week to give him a shower. Medicare covers the daytime stuff since it was ordered within 3 days of hospital discharge, but not the nighttime. Thanks for the visits in the daytime folks as it gives me time to run errands (car inspection, library, grocery shop, etc), but tomorrow I'm going to be really decadent and go for a massage--Pat coming over. Thanks to Rick for today and Carol and Fred for yesterday and all you nighttime angels. Barbara

Dear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear about Jim's continuing inability to sleep! What a terrible thing- you just cannot function without any sleep. The Home Health Aide sounds like a wonderful idea. Barb, I hope that you at least are able to sleep when someone else is there! What to do next for Jim? Does anyone have any ideas? I sure wish that I did! God bless all of you who have been able to spend the night and also relieve Barb during the day! What a blessing all of you are! Barbara- I'm working on Tuesday, but am off on Wednesday, so I hope to call you then. Alyssa gets home from Florida tomorrow night! It's been very quiet around here. Not used to it! We love you and are praying every day!
Love, hugs and kisses,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
Barb, amassage-you go girl! Jim "One day at a time" Patience is a virtue and you both seem to have lots of it. Thank God! Kudos to the guardians of the night and day as well. Love and Prayers Jeanie
