Closing Out Year # 4

I am closing out 2008, the fourth year I have served as long distance caregiver.

Who knows what 2009 will bring.

I will continue to pray for guidance.

New Laptop

I got a new computer so I can finally upload Dad and Juanita's video interviews Surviving The Tulsa Riots

Dad pressed his Lifeline button again

Both Mildred and Lifeline called me to let me know Dad pressed his button at 7AM. Mildred said he was on the floor next to his bed unable to get up. He is OK. Mildred and her husband put him back to bed safely.

Replacing a Caregiver

A caregiver who has been with us almost 4 years has to care for her sick Mom. I was forced to replace her. I am in Chicago and will help train her replacement. The agency sent the new lady to slowly learn the job last Friday.

I have mixed emotions about bringing a new person into our home. I hope Dad adapts to her.

In-Home Hospice Costs $8,000 Per Month

I just reviewed the hospice bill and I am amazed by the costs. I am grateful Dad has Medicare!
He has been in hospice since June 2007.
