I'm usually writing these post so late that they sometimes might not make sense. I do apologize for that. The last couple days have gone pretty well as we refine the routine and get everything figured out. Even Jewels, my 2 1/2 yr. old is starting to get the routine down. She knows that Grandma has to drink a juice just about every hour.
Today was a rougher day for mom in that she didn't wake up with as much energy as she usually does. She just seemed more exhausted. She still has some pain sometimes, but today she got a really bad cramp type pain in her side. It was pretty excruciating for her. She put a hot pack on it and that seemed to help ease the pain.
It was a rough day for dad too, as he managed to slice a good chunk of his thumb open. He now will have to keep it wrapped up for a long while for it to heal. Needless to say, it will be harder for him to help me with the washing, cutting and juicing of everything.
I think we are all exhausted at this point and just trying to find the strength to get through the day and possibly sneak in a nap. It hasn't really happened yet, but there is always that hope for one in the future. :)
Still trying to figure out new ways to present the food to mom so that she doesn't get too bored with it. Today I scorched the batch of potatoes. She really didn't like that way too much. I usually am a good cook. With everything going on at the same time, I have turned into not such a great cook. I told mom I think that she'll probably want to fire me as her chef.
Please keep the prayers coming our way. It would be so easy to get run down with how physically and mentally draining everything has been. We greatly appreciate all the love, cards, prayers and encouragement that everyone has given.
SEEE!!! The "scorched bit"....
