First Outing in 3 weeks!

Yippee! Mom & Dad were able to safely & successfully make it to church yesterday! They had been cooped up in their house for 3 weeks because of this weather! They both loved the service and seeing everyone - but it sure did wear my dad out, he went home and took a 4 hour nap! lol! Today we went and get his shower done and enjoyed some dad & grandfather time as 2 of my kids were with me since no school again. Overall - a great day and dad is doing fabulous - his left leg which has been so swollen has returned to normal - we are so glad for that - wondering if this new "rotating air mattress" is helping him with blood circulation in that leg and thus reducing the swelling?

Have a great week everyone!!

Snuggled In & Ready for the Snow!

In case any of you are wondering. . . dad & mom are doing just fine so far in this snow storm. I went by this morning around 10 am and got him in his chair and my brother Timmy will get him back into his bed later today before the worst of the snow begins. Tomorrow my brother Tommy has 4-wheel drive so he will go in and help mom with any hygiene needs - thank God mom and Dad live on an important road that always stays open & pretty well cleared. With the hospital being right up the road, it is a road of high importance to the state when clearing. I'll keep you posted - enjoy the snowy weekend!
