Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ron, Lots of luck on your new job. That's great news! I know you will make a world of difference in that nursing home. They don't realize who they hired! I don't know if I missed an email, but how will your Mom be taken care of after your niece leaves? Or are you focusing on one day at a time?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Ron, I'm so glad to hear that your mom is ok and back home now. I wish I could have been of more help but its so hard to know what is hurting out LO's when they can't communicate. After we spoke, I thought about whether your mom might be having this pain due to constipation? A lot of the drugs our LO's take cause constipation so I wanted to throw that idea out. I really hope that this new job works out and that they appreciate the swell guy that you are. Best to you and the family.
