Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Sandie and , How did he learn to walk again? " Sandie and " <sanclown@... To m> <LBDcaregivers > Sent by: cc LBDcaregivers@yah oogroups.com Subject PEG tube 03/20/2007 01:22 AM Please respond to LBDcaregivers@yah oogroups.com Hi - Your story sounds so familiar to my experiences with my dad. My didn't eat much, by mouth, the first month he had the tube. Then I slowly introduced food to him again. He did ok with it, would cough at times but then learned to eat and swallow again. He learned to walk again as he had been in a wheel chair for so long. As you can see by the photo's - he prevailed. Also what you wrote about loving chocolate is soooo me. I try to go days without eating it. When my youngest son went to Europe June of last year he brought me back some Belgium chocolate. I thought I had died and went to heaven as I have never tasted anything so delicious, and I have tried many types/kinds of chocolates. I had trouble sharing the Belgium chocolate with my husband but found it in my heart...buried deep down in, to share. I know your torn heart with living geographically away from your parents. 's mom is still in New Zealand, 8,500 miles away from Iowa, yet I also know Jo is being taken care of and our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are always with her. If we lived closer we would take care of her but that isn't where life's path has taken us at the moment. I have always felt that guilt will take up residency and grow in my heart if I allow it to. Take care of yourself, and know there are many prayers going up in your name, for your parents, your brother, and your family. With heartfelt hugs- Sandie and Des Moines, IA dad, Merle, passed from LBD 9-20-02, age 65 mum, Jo, lives in New Zealand with LBD, age 78 -- new pictures! > > > > I appreciate the new pictures sent in recently. > Cautionblondthinkin, a > > great collection.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hello , I am so sorry things are so hard for you and your Mama. This has got to be horrendous for her. Does she have outside help? It seems like you said she did. (I have a good memory, it's just short) If your daddy loves humming birds can a feeder be placed by his window, and his bed be placed so that he can see them? I am sure you are preparing the children for seeing their grandfather in the bad shape that he is in. But, it still may be a shock for all of you. When a person is that sick every few weeks can make a difference. My Don has had two open heart surgeries. 1980, 1994. Later in 1997 he received two stents, and received an AVF that wouldn't stay mended, so he wound up having more surgeries than carters got pills. He received a very serious infection after one surgery, and was in the hospital for weeks. That whole year was a very bad one. I had to pack his cleaned out hole, three times a day for several weeks. It was caused by another surgery to dig out the left over infection that antibiotics wouldn't get. It was at least five inches long, a couple of inches wide, and at least that deep. Now this! I feel very badly for your Mama (I used the term Mama also) If she is old enough to have a grown daughter then this has got to be horrible for her. I am older too. 74. Take care dear lady, Imogene In a message dated 3/20/2007 1:26:35 PM Central Standard Time, cautionblondethinkin@... writes: My dad has had problems swallowing since he had cardio artery surgery years ago. From what I understand they hit a nerve, correct me if I am wrong mama, he has had problems swallowing every since. Mama reads the boards here as well as writes in the Caring Spouses site.

As for daddy being able to walk again, I believe we are all scared that his blood pressure will drop and we might lose him for sure. Mama is a little bitty ole' thing and even though daddy has lost so much weight he is still a big boned man. Mama has a bad neck and cannot lift him out of bed and the hoyer lift that they were given would not work because he could slip out the back.

When I was home last month, mama and I sat dad up on the side of the bed for a little while. She sat behind him and I was in front. It wore him out, but he was happy to be sitting up I think. Mama was able to cut his hair a little bit before he wore out. We had to lay him back down because his feet were turning blue. Daddy has more problems then LBD. He has heart problems. He had a triple bypass in 91 or 92. Had cardio artery surgery and when he was diagnosed with LBD they found he had lung cancer as well. They removed 1/4 of his left lung. Daddy always said if anyone was to get something strange wrong with him, he was the one. Yea, I have trouble sharing my chocolate as well. I hide it in the fridge behind stuff the kids would never look at. They haven't found my hiding spot yet. hehehe It is just so hard to share my Recess Peanut Butter Cups.....

I will be going home again in July for two weeks for vacation and will be bringing the kids this time. I am sure we will have lots of " projects " to do. :-) You, , and Jo are in my thoughts and prayers... Hugs, ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Imogene, Yes, mama has outside help. In July we called in Hospice and also mama hired a Caregiver to come in 3 days a week. Yes, daddy so loved hummingbirds. His bed doesn't face the window but before I came home a few weeks ago mama and I talked about switching his bed around so he can see outside. I believe she is going to have my brother move everything. Mama still sleeps in the same room with daddy so she can be close to him. She has a twin bed that she moves next to his bed every night so she can touch him when he needs calming down in the middle of the night. When she didn't sleep close to him he would get very restless and I believe scared because he didn't know where he was. Mama's comforting touch helps soothe him. My daddy's name is Don as well and he is 76. Mama is younger than him she is 59 (I am 40). We always said that daddy got himself a young chick...hehehe Mama loves daddy so very much it is obvious in the way she cares for him. Mama also had to pack his wound after surgery two years ago. While in the hospital he ended up getting a staff infection. Like you Don he has also had stents several times. Sounds like we have some pretty " tough " Don's. I shot video when I was home in Feb and showed the kids. I do not hide from them what is going on with their Paw Paw. My dad loved all his grandkids and they him. I just wish they had as much time as I did getting to learn from him and love him like I did. You sound like a very strong person.I admire your courage and strength as I do my mamas. Stay strong!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Sandie, It was easier for me to come home this past visit then before, because I knew that my daddy loved me. You are right daddy does know my voice, my touch, and he does trust me. We have this little game we always played. I would say " I love you daddy. " He would say " I love you too. " I would say, " I love you more. " He would say " nope I love you more. " Even now when he realizes it is me he still plays that game with me. The words change from him sometime and he says, " I don't think so, " or " no way. " He would smile. Daddy's face always lite up whenever I came home and when I left he would get big tears in his eyes. My daddy has the prettiest blue eyes as well. Thank you so much for thinking of my daddy if you see that hummingbird. That means so much. I know daddy would like that as well. Sure glad there isn't a law about chocolate or I would have been in jail along time ago for not sharing. hehehe Hugs, Desert Hot Springs, CA > > > > > > > > Hi - > > > > > > > > Thank you so much for writing. had had > > > > photo's of his mom, Jo, in the web site and I had > > > > photo's of my dad, Merle, in there.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hello again, - Just found this post. I must have missed it before now. Your dad is surrounded by love. A heart always knows when others feel love. I have heard many people here say their loved one doesn't know them but I felt and still feel differently. My dad's heart knew me. He knew my touch, my voice, and he trusted me. Every time I visited him he would light up even when he couldn't talk or even smile any more. His eyes followed me. He had the biggest blue eyes and they spoke volumes. It does sound like your dad has had a few trials and tribulations in his life. He has been strong through so much and the fight isn't over with yet. I have stood with the theory that...as long as there is life there is hope. We moved into our home the beginning of April last year. In asking neighbors and taking some samples of leaves and what not I found we have a Trumpet Vine. The Hummingbirds love it. Also, just had a thought that I have a wind chime of my dad's that he used to hang outside his apartment. I have hung it outside since he went into a NH. Last year when I hung it outside our home a Hummingbird came to it. I don't know if it was the same one but one would come to those chimes daily. There is a red plastic piece that hangs down. I shall look for that hummingbird this year and shall remember your dad. We have a huge Lilly of the Valley patch that reminds me of another dear member who lost her Uncle (Mr. . Each and every time I am near the Lillies I send up a special prayer for Stevie and Mr. B. Take care of yourself. Stay strong and love your dear daddy where you are at. His heart will always know your love. Also - hang on to your chocolate. There is no law saying we NEED to share. :-)) Hugs from Iowa- Sandie -- new pictures! > > > > > > I appreciate the new pictures sent in recently. > > Cautionblondthinkin, a > > > great collection.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi - I have found over the years that many loved ones have almost mirrored images of symptoms. They can be so individual yet so many symptoms the same. Thank you for sharing your story. Please continue to do so. My dad's and my birthday are/were both in July. What a wonderful gift for us to have you visiting your dear daddy. Have some chocolate while you are there...for us!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 ! You & Your Dad and Me & My Mom played the same game - almost exactly... Mom would say to me " I love you.

That's what I say " <snip> We have this little game we always played. I would say " I love you daddy. " He would say " I love you too. " I would say, " I love you more. " He would say " nope I love you more. " Even now when he realizes it is me he still plays that game with me. The words change from him sometime and he says, " I don't think so, " or " no way. " He would smile. <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 , It is a game I play with my daughter as well. I have been doing that since she was a little girl. She is 13 now and she still loves to do that. She and I say a little more like, " I love you more than the moon and the stars and the sky above. " We keep adding more things until we are tired. You are right on those special days with daddy he will play the game with me when I say I love him more. On the days he doesn't respond I know it isn't one of the miracal days. I enjoy them when I can. Hugs, Desert Hot Springs, CA > <snip> We have this little game we always played. I would say " I love > you daddy. " He would say " I love you too.
