First, let me say thank you for all of the sweet comments and all of the prayers and thoughts going up for John and I. He continues to amaze me and we are having some very precious time together.
So far, the last two days have been spent with the dear Hospice people. Monday, sweet Bev was here to go over the process with us and within a few hours, oxygen, breathing machines, some of his meds, etc. were already here at the house. They are a very fine tuned and well run organization,
Today, his nurse - Carrie - came and she was just as sweet as Bev was. They are such caring and personal people.
She will come twice a week unless we need her more.
His team is comprised of a nurse, an aide, a pastor and a doctor. The doctor is our family doctor.
I just want to again thank you all for your love and support. I am so grateful to God that you all have been there with me thru this and it has all been so positive.
I am trying to sew a little along, but it's been kinda crazy moving furniture, etc. around for all of the necessities. But, sewing is really calming for me.
Thank you again and enjoy this lovely Fall!

You know all of us in bloghand are holding your hand
God bless you both. Hospice is God's way of sending angels into your home when they are most needed. Your spirit during your tough times uplifts all of us readers who want to give you a big hug every day.
ReplyDeleteBecause of Hospice, our Mother was able to be at home surrounded by us all, and my family was extremely grateful for the care that was given to her during that time. Prayers for you and your husband, Judy.
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteI can only agree with all of your commenters. Hospice is truly a gift for both you and John. God bless you both and don't forget to take care of yourself also.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog. Even though I don't know you, you seem very kind and someone who is very strong.
I am so sorry that your husband is so ill. I used Hospice with my Dad and the nurses and staff are angels.

I haven't followed you lately and so much has happened. I read back about your husband and I am so sorry that things are not as you would want them. My son died of sepsis just a year ago... and my first husband died of cancer 12 yrs ago...so I am very familiar with Hospice.
ReplyDeleteThey are there for you both whenever the need arises. Such a comfort to have someone to talk to and know what you are feeling. Take care of yourself during this time and enjoy the little moments that you have with each other. You are both in good hands....both God's and the loving hospice people.
Hugs, Balisha
God Bless! I am glad you are surrounded by such wonderful people.
ReplyDeleteMay you feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you both during these days.
ReplyDeleteCould you email me your address, please?
warmly,
deb
Hospice can be a wonderful help. are such a big help at times like this. Praying for both of you. So glad that you have wonderful love in Bloggy Land. Hugs and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad they're there for you. We all love you and are here for you.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Hospice is wonderful! My mom has them coming in a few times a week depending on how much she needs them. Every week is different as her needs change. They also get things done for her. A go between for her with the Drs etc. Even though there are 8 of us siblings, we can't do everything for her. Plus they are not intrusive and you can make decisions on what you want from them.
ReplyDeletePrayers continue for you you and John.
Dearest Judy and John..In my family our loved ones always leave quickly..there is no lingering or time for saying the things we want to say before they must move on..be ever so thankful for each day, hour, minute that you are together now..it is a treasure that not everyone gets to enjoy..In this way you are truly blessed..My hugs and love to you both..
ReplyDeleteBless you my friend. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I've been out of touch from blogging...I've cut way back. Then recently my Dad passed away, and five days later my first cousin passed away. So things have been busy. But I'll be thinking of you and praying for you and John.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad he is able to be at home with you and Hospice is helping. They are truly amazing and I hope it frees you enough to take care of yourself my friend. I'm keeping you both in my prayers and I'll add a praying for these sweet Hospice workers, too. Hugs, Diane
