As some of you know, Mom is not doing well. She had a bad fall about 4 weeks ago (beginning of July) and it has caused her health to deteriorate more quickly. She had some bruising on her neck and back and was complaining of pain in her head. The doctor ordered an MRI (Tuesday, July 27th) and it showed everything was normal with the exception of a sinus infection.
The end of July proved to be very busy with family visits. Mary and Glen spent a long weekend. Glenn and Lizz and family visited for almost a whole week. Joan, Tim, and Brigid flew in for a couple of days. Rita flew in Thursday afternoon and left on Sunday. We even had an unexpected visit from Peter on Saturday. Mom and Dad both were really happy to have all of the company.
We met with Hospice Thursday the 29th at Dad's house to talk about having some in-home care for Mom. They will start with nurse visits and nurse's aid visits in August. It looks like they will be a big help for Dad.
Tim Wren has started a Facebook Group (Forthofer Family) for everyone to share pictures and notes. I'll do my best to maintain the blog. (I can't access Fb everywhere so this is easier for me)
