Settling in at Home

You all must have filled in the blank air time and firgured out that Steve is home now.  Jude and Breeze were so excited to see him!  When I can't find Breeze, I just look on Steve's bed. She's there with him.  Much of our focus is on working out where and how to keep him as comfortable as possible. Being as weak and exhausted as he is, Steve spends the most time propped in a bed.  He's able to move to the family room about once or twice a day to his new La-Z-Boy chair.   He's able to get to and fro with a cane now.  Unfortunately, every movement is a struggle and tires him.  

Today, we had our hospice intake meeting which went well.  We will meet our nurse and social worker on Monday. It's reassuring to both Steve and me that there is an expert team at our backs ready to help us and educate us on the rest of our journey.  Many of you have shared stories of your experiences with hospice. Thank you.  That also helps.  

We just want each of you to know that in whatever fashion you are helping, we notice and your thoughts, prayers, energies, cards, emails. texts, food dishes, poems, pictures for "The Wall", cleaning up apples in the yard, book wrangling, and phone calls all add bright little spots to our days.  Thank you seems so inadequate so I'll just say you've touched our hearts!
