Carol has now been in the Nursing Home (NH) for 3 weeks and we are very comfortable by the way that God has answered our prayers. We prayed that she would not have any sadness, anger, or desires to leave whenever we visited. Only God could have enabled these request to come about.
Carol is very Content, glad to see us ( very simply) and likes to see her family visit her. She has never asked me to take her home, --please don't go--etc, She is very peaceful with her surroundings. The staff seems to be taking good care of her. One aide has changed Carol's hair to a pony tail to keep it out of her face. Her head is nearly always drooping to the right. It was hard to feed her and she seemed to even have trouble chewing so they now chop her main food up. But she does swallow her food, drinks her tea or water. She continues to walk from her recliner to her bed, to her bathroom. But the staff is very cautious and protective which is OK with us. A fall can be a disaster in her lifestyle.
GOD IS GOOD and we are very relieved to have her reacting in such a good way.
But----please do keep us in your prayers. I am feeling a lot of loneleness but OK otherwise.
Love from Carol and Bill. 2/17 7:00PM
