Tuesday on the Hill / October 26

We had Home Health Nurses for both Dad and Lanny in today. Lanny is doing great and as far as Home Health is concerned, he is discharged :-)

Dad will need several more weeks of Home Health and physical therapy but he is improving as well. He does have a UTI and antibiotics are on the way...hopefully that has been causing some of his confusion and anxiety. He is moving a little better, legs not so shaky. He is also going to the bathroom with limited assistance...praise the Lord for small miracles!!

The Doctor also gave him something for sleep and agitation at night...hopefully that will relax him so that he will stay in the bed and sleep! I cannot stay awake and monitor him all night and he will NOT let me raise the rail. 

Continue to pray for Dad especially...

*****

We had Butterfly Shrimp, French Fries, Peas and Salad (lettuce out of my garden)... and Jello for dessert...YUM!




Everything is moving along and we are taking it a day at a time.

God is good and walking with us every step of this journey...

Here are a few pics from earlier today...

I cannot believe we have a water lily bloom...

Lanny burned trash this morning..

Chicks and Ducks at sunup...



And the usual two duck eggs... no chicken eggs today. Cool weather...

Quiet Time...

“Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:13

*****

I gave Dad a call button that rings in our bedroom...he knows how to use it :-) He buzzed me three times during the night. I think more for his peace of mind than any real need, but that is at least one thing he can rely on. He is so disoriented and still confused and bored...he cannot hear, he can't see well, he has very little feeling in his hands and feet so he cannot hold anything (including his water and coffee, a pencil)...
I am going to try to figure out a way he can start coloring again...he loved doing the adult coloring pages just a year ago. 
Please continue to lift him in your prayers...he is so unhappy...

Lanny is doing great...praise the Lord. His blood sugar is still very erratic, up and down, but our appointment is tomorrow so hopefully we will get that figured out.

Thank you for your continued prayers.
We LOVE YOU ALL!!
