I was just talking to my sister here and have some info on my dad and an updated prayer request / praise report.
My dad had a few days last week when his blood sugar was out of control. They took him to the Doctor and got his insulin regimen changed and he has been steady now for several days. He has been staying with my sister for the most part during this time and that is working out well. Coulten, my sisters youngest, espescialy loves having grampa around and goes out for walks with him and hangs around alot with him. They are enjoying each others company.
Even their little dog has found grampa a nice, warm, bed partner at night and friend through the day!
He is getting stable and showing fewer signs of the dementia now than he was before. The constant attention and care he is receiving at my sisters house is amazingly helpful. He eats regularly (and healthy!), is constantly reminded of the time of day and the actual day and month and year- which helps him keep on track, and has his medicines regularly as well.
Please continue to pray for long term options for care! We're not sure what will happen with that, but are now convinced more than ever that he needs 24 hour attention and care- please pray for God-given insight, wisdom and tactfulness as we deal with various levels of government as well as family!
Thanks for praying with us!
Mike for the family
