Just an update on the happenings here in Arizona... As soon as I started sending out the last emails I could feel the support and prayers lifting the heaviness.
This week was a busy one. I was able to get home health care to come to the house. So we had a nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, aide and social worker coming about 2 times a week.
Dad is most comfortable in bed and now spends about 99% of his time there. He cannot sit upright more than a couple minutes without extreme pain in his hip. Next week they are sending out a portable x -ray machine to see if there is a possible fracture even though he was still walking on it. Been working on getting fluids and food in him. He's not hungry - pain and prone doesn't make for a big appetite. I tell him he has to eat even though he's not hungry.
Since he can no longer sit up or travel he has also been put on a home based nursing program as of yesterday. That means a nurse practitioner will be coming to the house instead of him having to go into the Doctor. Not sure what else that entails.
Although I’m glad for the help, we were both glad to see the weekend arrive. It was a little overwhelming this week.
