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.

We need a Vacation!

Funny how folks think that since we are full-time RVers we are always on vacation.  While we do live a great relaxing life, it is not vacation.  There still is that need to "get away" from the everyday chores and change the scenery.  I know, our outside scenery can change as often as we choose.  Vacation just makes you feel better.

To take the vacation scene a little further, we are actually working whenever we "go on vacation" since we are travel agents.  We need to stay current on the latest innovations each of the cruise lines offer and need to stay up on the best values for excursions and land accommodations.  Hard work, but someone has to do it.

Anyway, as our previous blog stated, we have just been so busy lately.  This is the first time we have come back to "home" since December.  We have been enjoying visiting all our friends and family now that we are back.  It feels like a vacation.  Just getting to take a raft ride on the Ashtabula River and hang out with our boating friends is such a great feeling.

But, now back to reality.  We have a wedding to get ready for in a couple of weeks.   Wait,  there is still time for another raft ride.

Have a great week, we'll see ya down the road......
