My dad has been in the hospital for 2 weeks and was sent home Saturday. (Why I am not sure as he is not doing well at all). I went down Saturday night and spent the night BUT I can not stay the whole week with the kids and what they have going on so he had 3 options..
1. Short term stay in a nursing home
1. Short term stay in a nursing home
2. 24 in home care
3. My house
We had called the company we used with my mom and she was not sure when they could get someone out but even before my dad knew this he picked ME. Is he happy to be at "Camp Wang", NO..but does he know he needs to be here, YES. He can not get up from a chair, bed. tiolet without help and he is using a walker to SLOWLY get around with help.
So here he is in his smiling GLORY..I said to him..smile..smile more and act like you are HAPPY..this is what I got*. The one picture is the bump from when he fell over 2 weeks ago. He has 3 "bleeders" in his brain. We put Tylers bed in the living room so he will sleep there and I will sleep on the couch in the family room so I can hear him.
The 3 BAD things about here are
1. I have laminate and tile so it is hard for him to get up as his feet slip (found out the hard way)
2. We have basement stuff ALL over the house from the flood so it is AMESS here.
3. We have NO hospital as it has A LOT of damage from the flood.
We will be needing A LOT of prayers as I know we will make him NUTS:-)
*Sadie I told him to smile as I was sending this to you and that is when I got the smile I got from him.
