Dad

update on dad....
Dad has moved to seasons hospice house. (At this moment he has know idea he's there.) After putting him on the list for a bed mom started having second thoughts and guilty feelings. But after last night she was totally on board with moving to the hospice house. Dad had a very bad night last, much confusion. Mom said he spent most of the night talking to someone she couldn't see. He was very fidgety and rambling a lot. When I arrived at their house this morning I had to call Darrick to come over before work because mom and I where unable to get him out of bed ourselves. The hospice staff arrived around 10 am and told us we had a bed and from there things moved quickly. Transportation was arranged, paper work was done, things were packed and we were off. Dad was given a little extra medication for the ride and looked like he actually enjoyed himself.
Seasons Hospice house is truly gorgeous. They have 8 beds and dads room is on the lower level with a view of the grounds. while we were unpacking a flock of HUGE wild turkeys walked right by his window. I can say I am very comfortable with him being there. They have a wonderful group of staff who checked in on him very often. I know many of you may want to visit and Seasons is very open to that, even though it may seem that dad isn't aware that your there, he knows, he has moments where he will look right at you do that silly smile of his and say "hey". If you want you can also call there for updates, however you will need to call mom first for the password to get information. thanks for all your love and well wishes. I will keep you updated as best as i can.
