Daddy-O Update

Daddy-0 with 2 of his friends & caregivers.
Get this ..... they are not related and their names are Lerlene & Merlene. No kidding.
We are blessed with their presence in our lives.

My father, Albert, has been admitted to a Hospice Facility near our home for treatment of a few medical items which cannot be taken care of at the assisted living residence. One problem was pain from advanced spinal stenosis (a condition for which we have investigated multiple treatments) so he is on morphine based drug which causes him to be pretty much out of it. We visit daily, but they are short visits as we are not confident that he'll remember we were even in the room, however his memory has been on the decline for quite some time. So, if there are prayer worriors out there in blogland, please pray that he'll be out of pain. He's sprung back from some 'episodes' multiple times. He is 94.
Also pray that he pulls through this as we want him to know his grand-daughter, Joanna Mei.

thanks for visiting me... I think.... hold you back from what? you'll have to stick around to see what all the fuss is about. We're kind of a dysfunctional family at my place,and all the bloggers are bickering siblings.
I have visited your site recently.
Very lovely.
