Day August 25-Birthday Wishes and Miracles

                                        


Happy Birthday Sis! Loving the new hairstyle, but this could be the sign of a midlife crisis. 

I am so glad to have such an amazing sister in my life. I have learned to identify any miracle that life throws our way.  Miracles are like a cup of coffee, the perfect "pick me up" when we feel like there is no hope. Miracles are amazing.  One of the best miracles is having my sister through this difficult journey to talk to, make decisions, and laugh with.

      


Other miracles of the week....

Dad gets to take a break from his neck collar for a few hours a day and while eating.  What a relief!!


Mom and Dad got approved for Medicaid.  This means mom will get home health care 37 hours a week (7 days a week) in addition to 10 hours of hospice care.  The program through Medicaid is called Passport and it all starts tomorrow.  It looks like dad will have an aid to help start his day, an aid from noon-4:00, and an aid return to get dad to bed.  I am so thankful for Medicaid to help out and not let us down.  It only took 7 weeks of endless documents faxed to the office, but hey, it worked!!
