It seems we are losing family around us. Grandpa Clark's wife has been falling so she is needing to stay at a nursing home, now. While Grandpa Clark's brother lost his fight with lung cancer December 24, 2007 about 1900-1930 Eastern Time. While I wait to hear from DHS and social services @hospice tomorrow.
Merry Christmas!

Eating again
While I called to check with the hospice house Monday evening I learned Mom was not eating for them. Since I planned to stop over on Tuesday or Wednesday I did not want to be a pest. Yet wanted to know she was adjusting well. Yet I knew that could be a real challenge. Finding I had messed up time on something here I had a small window to run over there and be back. So I ran over there to find her covered up in bed like she likes to do. Blankets over her head.
When I walked in her room she did peek out to see me. Told me to leave and hid again. I told her No I would not leave because she told me to and sang to her. She played in her bedding. I inquired about her eating and they had still been having trouble. I called her care giver and they changed what they offered her and how. She is eating for them now.
My next younger brother made it over today. She is doing well from the message i got I will need to get back with him soon.
Live has been moving faster than I can keep up so I better go.

Hospice House
Mom is scheduled to go to the hospice house for 5 days so her caregiver can get a little respite (rest/brake). so I dropped in to see what it is like. I looks very new and nice, caring and comfortable. I will try to be over to check on her more than i have been able to be the last few weeks.
Mom had a granddaughter turn 17, 5 days ago. Her second born child, son, has a birthday tomorrow. While her no longer youngest grandson will be 9 on the 12th.
Her walking was very unstable when I took her for her thyroid test, I used the transport chair at the Dr. office. When they could not draw her blood I had her walk in to the out patient surgery place. Her balance was real bad. She would not back up a step to sit and I was scared she would fall and hurt her self. We did OK.

Much Prayer
Weight loss, DHS, very good reasons to keep praying for mom. How long will it be before I hear back on the thyroid test? Will it mean changes? I do not know.

Time for New Mittens
Yesterday mom's Dr. office called saying they wanted another thyroid test taken. Since I have been trying to get over there since Saturday, today was my next shot at it. We got to the office they took her back and tried to draw her blood after longer than usual they brought mom out with a paper to take to another lab in the community. So we ran to the one I thought least out of the way. They asked why were there. I told them what I had been told about her clotting too quickly for them to get her blood drawn. They had it done in a few seconds. It took long to take her coat off and put it back on than it did to draw her blood.
Yet as I picked her up her care giver said she need mittens she cannot get her finger in her gloves. She had nice Issotoners. I have Thermolite (sp?) mittens, there are much better than Thinsolate. So I wanted to find Thermolite or Issotoners. I was able to get her medicine without trouble, and found Issotoner on sale 50% off at Younkers MITTENS. So she can cover her finger easier. I wonder if she needs a cord so she does not lose them.
