sorry i accidnely sent before i finished letter wlll duh cg dementia for

sure!!

anyways back to the story, this time the amoxicilin gave him extreme

diarehhea, poor thing had it shooting out of himn and he couldt get to bathroom

the

second time, so he dropped his soiled pant on the floor and struggle to put

clean pair on, he didnt want to call me and donnie as it was midnite and we

were asleep. sigh, the first time he did it was about 2 in the morning and he

made it to the bathroom butnot the toilet and our bathroom was coverd from

cieling to floor in poop. again dad didnt call for help. i will be putting

the baby monitor in his room tomorrow. i also called doctro for help we are

getting daddy evaluated by hospice o thursday, teh first day that kellie the

nurse ad i could coordinate a time, i am hoping to get dad a hospitla med to

make it easier for him to get in/out of bed, and sit up ad put hiis feet up as

they are starting to swell since he nows lays with his feet danglingoff the

bed, and he sleep horizontal accorss his queensize bed so his feet still hang

off the floor,

my friend shannon i scoming into town wednesday to help me get this house

reorganized post hurricane, we still dont have our florida room, hopefully our

friend can come start working on in the next couple of weeks, i am soo

anxious to have my craft room back since i replaced my sewing machine with a

disney embroidery /sewing machine, i have all types of new storage containers

match my coke colors red and black. i have new plastic drawers and baskets of

all shapes and sizes. eveyone take care hugs sharon m

explained to him hospice is coming to help us get things to make ilife

simpler/easier for him he knows he needs a hospital bed because his feet are

swelling

wit that, it wasnt an easy decision and when i found out that they have anoter
