Today has definitely been a transition. They moved dad to Hospice about 11:30 this morning. He was so afraid he was going to a nursing home. We convinced him they were moving him here to help him get better and because I had a cold. We told him he could go home in a few days when he got better.
This is the hardest thing I have ever done. He is so out of it. Sometimes he is here and understands and then out of the blue he will say something off the wall.
His room is wonderful, it even has outside doors that has a garden outside his room. I know this is the best place for him, but that doesn't make it any easier.
It is so hard to see this strong, amazing man become someone so different....
Oh Krystal! I don't even know what to say. You are doing the right thing. The hardest decisions usually are. I am thinking about you and praying for your strength and peace. I am glad it is a nice place for him.
ReplyDeleteKrystal, I am so very sorry that you are having to deal with this. Bobby and I have kept up with Neil's progress thru Michael. I know that you have done everything humanly possible to keep him at home but there comes a time that you no longer can meet the needs. He has fought a courageous battle and will continue to do all he can to remain with the ones he loves. I would like for you to post his mailing address so that we may send him cards from time to time to let him know that we are praying for him and that we are thinking about him. Give him our best and let him know that we are keeping abreast of his progress. God Bless you for the way you have stood by his side. You will never regret one moment that you spend doing for him. Prayers and thoughts, Sharon and Bobby Pearce
