Early riser
Well, last night dad was not feeling too well. He didn't want to eat supper, but did get some extra attention, since Danna and Kevin were there. I called a couple times and once mom was giving him a back massage. Someone sent mom a hand held back massager. It is really cool, but it didn't have any return address or a note in it... so whoever that was, thanks. Not much else to report from the night...
Today dad was up early. He woke up about 06:15 and since he didn't eat much last night, mom asked if he was ready for breakfast. He thought that would be fine, so she made oatmeal and he ate the whole bowl. After that he did lay back down, but didn't really get much more sleep. He was just kind of restless. Mom decided about 7:30 to read some funny stories out of a book someone gave her. It is about silly things little kids do. When she would laugh, he would smile, so she read them and decided if they weren't funny she would laugh anyway, just to see him smile. He did lay down again after that for a bit, but still not wanting to sleep. So then mom decided she would shave him and wash his hair. So he is all ready for visitors today. Plus Kim, from hospice will come and clean him up some more this afternoon. But 1st Benita and Mark Fichter are the coming over to stay with dad.
After that mom said that Aunt Kathy called and while we were one the phone Lois Aistrope called. So she was keeping busy, beside cleaning up around the house. She decided that it was time for more coffee and her chocolate muffin and would call Lois back. Tomorrow afternoon mom has her appointment with the Tax man, Kurt, in Shenandoah. So she will see how much more information she needs to find before he can do the taxes. She has been preparing for a while, hope it goes well!
I wanted to thank those of you who do post comments on dad's blog. I know many more of you are reading, which is great! We really do appreciate the support! And just want to try to tell you how things are going. Thanks again for checking on dad.
