I am going to post right away because I have not updated in the last couple days. If I wait till I get things done and in the mode to wind down I will fall asleep like I did last night.
Today seemed like it went on forever. One of those days. I had to set my phone alarm to get me up in time to take both the girls for their dentist appointment. Two girls from their office called yesterday to confirm their appointment and then they did it again today. The girl told me that if I did not return their call they would book someone over our appointment. I think she caught me at the wrong time. I flew off on her. I have never had to confirm before and we have never not shown up for our appointments. Needless to say I felt like I had to apologize to her. (Knowing full well this was the tactic of the devil to start my day our stressing and angry and missing the blessings God had in store for me today) So I fixed it and apologized.
Afterward I came home long enough to get Ken's lunch fixed and I was off and running again. I had to pick up things for my parents house at the grocery store, pick up things Dad needed and get his bills so I could pay them.
The truck needed gas so I went to fill up CNG in the truck and the station was broke down. I did not stress... just went to the station on 15th and Sheridan before going to the hospital. I was running late. My Dad was waiting in his wheelchair for me to take him over to see my Mom. I took him over and he stayed for about an hour. I took him back to his room and then went back to stay with Mom a little longer. I wanted to make sure they turned her and that she was comfortable before I left. She certainly does not get the best care in there. She is taken better care of at home. One of the nurses tore her medical boots I made her for Christmas. Not sure how they could have been so rough to do that but it can be fixed just frustrating but not worth stressing.
On my way home I decided to surprise the girls with Taco Bell. I was hungry and didn't feel like cooking. I know they were happy.
Today's progress... My Mom has been cut back to breathing treatments every 6 hours instead of every 4 hours. This is an improvement and she does not seem as congested.
As for Dad he looked good. When my Dad walks he has to swing his left leg forward by using his hip. He is able to hold his weight but not move his leg at will. He said he walked farther today and he moved his left big toe a little. Tomorrow they are going to feed him a regular meal. Praising God for positive things today and for those coming.
