Catch Up

Wow, what a crazy few weeks it has been. I've pretty much abandoned this blog (and my personal one). This is my really busy time at work and it's pretty much consumed my life the past few weeks, so I apologize for not updating more.
Dad has sure been struggling lately. He is so sad all the time. We took him and the kids to Pirate Island last week. He always seems to enjoy being with the kids, but it still wears him out quickly. We also had a few lunches at Olive Garden (his favorite place).
We are still hoping to move him, again, the 1st of February. We are not holding our breath, however! We are so thankful for all of you and your prayers! He sure needs them lately.

Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks.

Frustration!

What a frustrating week it has been. We moved Dad to the assisted living section at Heritage on Saturday only to be told on Monday we had to move him back. Apparently, the paperwork was not finished and we won't be able to move him until the beginning of February! Dad was SO upset about all of this. The good thing though is that Heritage moved him the second time so we didn't have to again.
Dad is sure not doing well! He seems to be declining and in a bit of depression. We talked to the nurses about the possibility of medication to help get him through the days and nights better. We have tried taking him home on occasions to see how he does, and it doesn't seem to go very well! He is just a nervous wreck lately. I feel so bad for him and wish there was something we could do to make life easier for him. I guess we just keep praying for him!

Christmas Day

Dad had a great Christmas home - for the most part... His nerves seemed to get the better of him, but I know he enjoyed being home. He (and mom) did not sleep well at all so they were both pretty tired! But, we are just so thankful to have Dad here with us during the holidays. I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We did - even though it went way too quickly!
