Wednesday Evening Update:
Danny's daughter will be flying out on the earliest flight to take care of the arrangements for Danny... I will pass on information as we learn more. Lanny is feeling good about it. These last years have been great for the two brothers...he has no regrets.
Lanny and I had our annual Wellness Appointment today...you know, the one where seniors have to draw a clock showing ten minutes after eleven... I always draw a digital clock, just for fun :-)
Turns out Lanny and I are as "healthy as a horse", as "fit as a fiddle"...well, you get the idea... we are in great shape for the shape we are in, except we have to work on Lanny's blood sugar. For now we will continue the insulin and a new drug the doc called in...he will go back in three months for his A1C check...he had it down to 6 a while back but it was back up even before he was sick...no worries, we will fix it!
Dad is still nervous and doesn't want to lay down. I will never give him another one of those Seroquel "for depression, anxiety, insomnia...". it didn't work for him! Back to hot cocoa :-)
Hopefully another few doses of his antibiotic (for the UTI) will help him to feel better...I know infections, especially in the elderly, can really work on the fear, anxiety and confusion...
We had a fabulous meal, provided by our dear friends Betsy and Jimmy... Calhouns Boxed meals: Grilled Chicken, Pulled Pork, Barbecue Beans, Cole Slaw, Creamed Corn, Fried Apples...SO YUMMY!
My plate...pretty as a picture...
And a few photos from the day...
Three were still in the nest boxes NOT laying eggs... two were in one together and growling at each other (yes, chickens growl) :-)
Two duck eggs and one chicken egg probably from last evening or very early this morning...
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”

Wednesday Morning update:
Lanny's brother Danny passed away yesterday...his neighbor and friend found him sitting in his recliner...he died peacefully.
Please pray for Lanny, their three sisters Ann, Jan, and Jean, and for Danny's children and grandchildren...
As for Dad, he had a very bad night. He knew something was going on early in the evening, and I had to tell him about Danny. I am not sure if that is what triggered his nervousness and agitation or if it was the new antibiotic he was given for his UTI. The doctor sent him a med that was supposed to help him sleep and help with the confusion and agitation but it seems to have done exactly the opposite. He was up ALL night. As was I... Mom didn't rest well either.
I thought we were moving forward but it seems we've had a pretty bad fall. Continue to pray for Dad as well...
