Respite Care

Had a great visit with our daughter Bethany last weekend.

Connie's vitals have remained stable.  Her brain is pretty much limiting things.  She sleeps a lot (16-18 hours a day).  Sometimes has trouble making any words, other times words come out in small bites.  Other times, she can speak pretty clearly.  Not eating much if anything at all.

She had a pretty bad cough for about a week.  Seems to be finally over it.

The Davis family (Bethany, James, Kingsley & Keegan) had previously planned a week vacation here on the 9th of February which is still going to happen.  With a 4 year old and an 11 month old, we (me, Bethany, the nurses) all felt it was a better option to take advantage of New Century's "Respite Care".  Short description is they will provide transportation for Connie to a nursing facility for 5 days of care.  That way we can do a short visit or two, then she'll be back on Friday before they leave for an extended visit. 

This benefit is available every 30 days.  Never knew when to pull the trigger, but I think this is a good option.  Should allow everyone to be pretty relaxed for 5 solid days.

Thanks, as always, for your kind thoughts.
