View From My Porch

View from my porch

Yesterday we took my parents out to my house to have a look around.  Mom is excited about the move and was smiling the whole time.  On the other hand, my Dad was just not having it.  He still is adamant about NOT leaving his house.  I understand that the change is going to be very hard for him, and I do feel bad about it. But.. it is about my mom this time.  We need to be there for her during her recovery process.  And no matter how well she does get, she cannot take care of Dad by herself.  It will put her back in the hospital again. 

After a tour of the house, Dad did say how much he like our house.  (Even though he does not want to live there).  My husband assured him we would make him as comfortable as possible.  In fact, my husband is going to pick up some paint samples today so that my Mom can pick out the colors she would like for their rooms.  

My oldest son will start painting the rooms as soon as we get the paint to him.  We then have to re-do the bathroom for them to make it easier for them and us to give them a shower/bath.    That will take some time, maybe a week... but after that we can start the move.

 Mom is going for her MRI brain today, and we follow up for the results on Friday.  I will keep you posted.
