Ups & downs

Remember this journey is filled with ups and downs. Even though yesterday was a great blessing of a day - today we had to be patient because dad was very tired, agitated and confused. Really it began last evening when he was convinced he was supposed to come home. He called me at 10:30 pm and was very upset that "they would not let him leave". I had to explain to him that we still needed to get everything ready at home, get the equipment in place he needs there, have training to provide his 24hour care (bathing, dressing, transferring him), arrange his in-home therapy/nurses and that we didn't have any of his medicines (not to mention that we are a week & half before Christmas - yikes!) He told me and the nurses he'd give me 3 days - that's it. I sure hope I can convince him that the week & half we have left there is only 3 days! I'll be going up tonight to spend some time with him and mom and bring her home. I will let you know if I learn anything new. Keep praying for him!
