getting stuff done..

well so far its been productive for us..jon had a great bowel program- the things were thankful for!!!! he's been in and out of passing out..so ive been right next to him..he took some constipation liquid and it may have drained him..we'll have to not use so much next time..he's doing better now..just been in his chair sleeping and not doing much..but his pain level is GREAT!!im so happy about that!!!

i have the otehr caretaker carol coming tomorrow around 1pm to meet with me and jon and talk things over..PLEASE keep this in your prayers that i goes well and she's interested and its a good match!!

ive been on the phone ALL day..i talked to the cruise lines about everything regarding jon and got alot answered and figured out about him, there were too many "unknowns" so its nice to get a better idea of what were working with, i need to now call delta airlines and then talk to the van rental company to make sure we can get jon in and out of the rental van etc..

ive made doctors appts, called the insurance, talked to the case manager, called more doctors, straightened out billing, found jons missing chart, left messages etc etc etc..i have to go to all my neighbors and have them sign off so we can put an elevator on to the back of our house so he can start sleeping in our bedroom together once again and take real showers..

i talked to kim about how we'd work things on the cruise if jon goes and how well try to work things out if jon stays..she'll call me back after she talks to her family about it..i will need to arrange for nurses to be here while were gone..

i FOUND OUR PASSPORTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HUGE accomplishment!! so now i need to go online and register for the cruise using those - SO HAPPY!!

anyway - back to work..

Niiice. Making progress--good news.

Get Jon on that cruise--he (and you) needs to get away for a little bit.

Hope all goes well!

I am praying you will all be able to make it on the cruise. Even just a change in scenary may help. I hope Jon's pain continues to stay down and that this caregiver works out. You haven't had much luck with that one. Hopefully this is the right One to help you!
