I will be back hopefully soon, but here are some of the reasons for not able to find time for posting.

Brought BIL and his wife to my house. She is 87 and he is 83. She has Alzheimer and he has dementia. She had fallen and fractured her hip and they would not release her from the hospital unless they had 24 hour care. She needed to be in a wheelchair and both of them had catheters upon their arrival in my house. Besides a bladder infection that brought us the ER she was doing great and was getting better every day. After 1 1/2 week here she had a massive stroke in the middle of the night. Her whole right side was affected, no speech and no swallowing reflexes and incapable of focusing. While she is in the hospital he pulls out his catheter the second time and they are trying to see if he can function with out. Did not work, caused an infection and another ER visit and 2 days of hospital stay. In the meantime a decision about feeding tube for her had to be made. Decision was "NOT" and consequently she needed to leave the hospital since they could not do anything for her anymore and it would be only a matter of time for her to die. After looking at hospice places (I didn't like any of them) I decided to bring her to my home where she stayed for a week and then passed away on 9/30. Had a house full of guests to support my brother in law on a daily basis since and am busy with funeral arrangements and all that is involved with it. Future looks as if my brother in law will continue to stay with me. They own a house that needs to be cleaned out. 40 years of accumulation. Yesterday was the first time I have seen my craft room since all this happened. I hope that after a while we will find a routine where crafts will fit into schedule again. So if you remember say a prayer for us both and forgive me for not posting much.
Hugs Angie
