Hello everyone. Please forgive me for having taken so long to write again. I guess there’s been more time for doing and less for reflection. March 29th was Mom’s birthday. She’d still love to hear from you, if you ever find the time. 970-275-5534 is her number, and she usually has her phone close by. […]
With the snow coming down and the brisk air outside, I could have easily justified staying in and NOT going to church. I’m sure that God would have understood. After all, I’m getting ready for our l-o-n-g trip to Mexico, trying to catch up the office paperwork, packing food, crafts and more to make life […]
There are so many things to consider when watching out over some one’s care. I don’t know how everyone else does it. I can hardly do it well, myself and I have some medical background to draw from! How much it TOO much attention? How much is too little. I’ve been deliberately backing off, spend […]
Each and every week brings us more hope for Mom. I was struck, as I sat next to her in church on Sunday how beautiful a mature out of tune voice sounds when it is raising praise to God. She fans the fingers on her left hand to grasp the back of the pew in […]
Happy New Year and all the rest! Here’s Mom’s Christmas and New Year’s Greeting. She’ll mail out some. I just don’t know how soon she’ll get them addressed. It takes a lot of focus to accomplish.
We went to the Methodist Church in Delta, and Mother was a star. It’s a wonderful thing when people see the evidence of their prayers being answered. They were quick to look her in the eye and ask her sincerely how she’s doing. Being the recipients of their attention was like being wrapped in a […]
Craig worked all night on Christmas Eve and so was just getting off at 8:00 before guests arrived at 9:00. He was napping when Santa came to the door with a tap-tap-tap…Stefi was excited and happy to give Santa a hug and thank him for the presents that he had left earlier. She was sorry […]
We’ve been very happy with Mom’s care at Peak View Behavioral Health, the psychiatric Hospital for Seniors in Colorado Springs. She is off all of the heavy drugs, no more Serequel, no Adivan/Lorazapam, no Zyprexa and no Tamazapam! Hurray! Dr. Scola, there, is very conservative and is giving her 200 mg of Trazadone and 600 […]
Mom’s been at Peak View Behavioral Health Hospital, now for 7 nights. She sounds more clear-minded on the phone and they tell me that she’s sleeping a little better on the new medication they are giving her. She is more like herself, being grateful and kind, when I talk to her. She has given me […]
Just to catch you up. All of Mom’s crazy thoughts are gone. No more devils or unfounded fears!! Hooray!!! She has good happy days…But, her nights are a terror and this is an understatement, I’m afraid… She sleeps about an hour, even with a heavy sleeping pill. The rest of the time, she is anxious, […]
