I love the picture of Maggie skipping down the walkway at church that is posted below, and hate to cover it up with these words! However, I am thankful to be off work today and celebrating a great person in history (not too long ago history!) Martin Luther King, Jr. A man of courage and conviction for sure.
I wanted to say how thankful our family is to Hospice. What a wonderful job they are doing with my dad. At this time, Debbie (his caregiver) is at the house cleaning dad up and getting him up and dressed. She has been wonderful with he and mom. She even made mom's bed one day when mom was in a hurry to leave for a hair appt. Debbie is warm, friendly, and a positive person all around. His nurse, social worker and chaplin have been just as great. The whole experience has been so helpful to mom and taken much of the work off of her. No words can say how much we appreciate them for the respectful care they are giving our dear dad.
When they first came, they had a very hard time getting a pulse. With permission of dad's doctor, they removed several of the meds he was taking on a daily basis. These helped his heart rate and gave him so much more energy. He is able to eat again and is stronger (somewhat!) every day. Thank you all for your tireless work ethic and knowledge of your patients needs.
