More Aids and Aides for Mark's Care

You may be wondering why I haven't updated this Blog. We have been very busy with Mark's care, since Kris arrived home (a good but long journey for her). We transitioned to Hospice Care recently and continue to have Community Home Service Aides also. Our mornings tend to be quite intensive. After his morning concludes with breakfast and bathing,etc., Mark takes a long sleep in his recliner. Moving him from chair to wheelchair, table or bed has gotten more comfortable with a Hoyer Lift. Although it looks monstrous & takes up a lot of space, it enables us to mechanically lift him. There is less stress on his body and it's easier for us too. Mark remains very pleasant and positive. He sleeps a lot more and is weaker in body and voice. We do use a medication for him in the evening to relax him at bedtime. His faith is strong and contagious. In turn, friends and family's prayers have been an encouragement to us!
