I will pray for you Pop as well. I know that most of those places are under staffed because they are poorly paid. I have seen some well kept assisted living homes and the staff is well paid for their work. They are few and far between. For the money they charge you would think you would get better care but that is not the case. More money for the crew is less money for the owners. It is a sad fact all over. I will pray for you as well as you have to take all this extra time to insure people are doing what they are getting paid for. It will wear on you after a while. We went thru this with my Grandma back a few years ago. The Lord took her after a short time living like this. I praise him for that. Lord please help my brother with this load as it will be a heavy one for him and his family. Please allow him to show mercy toward those whom should be taking care of his Pop's but don't. You are in control of it all and we ask you to stand in the gap as you have promised you would on our behalf. Lord I trust this into you hand and know you are on the job 24/7. Thanks for hearing my prayers this day and for being with our brother right now as he continues to walk this path. I love you Lord because you loved me first. It is in your name I ask this thing.... Amen.

I will pray for your dad as well. It is a hard thing to see any loved one in so much pain. I recently lost my father to congenative heart failure. He was 48 years old and there is not a day goes by that I do not remember the times and memories we had together, like my first taste of beer and when he fell through the Ice on the platte river. I could go on for days with stories but I prob should not as I need to get back to work. Dave I will also say a prayer for you and your family as I know it is not easy for a family to go through things like this but keep God in your hearts and it will all be ok. God Bless you all and have a Merry Christmas

Thanks for all the continued prayers for Pop. Thanks for the humor, too, Benson. You're right. I'd not try to "rope a deer". Some might remember that story that hit the internet, fable or not--it was hilarious.

We had a very quiet, simple Christmas. I got Pop and he used his motorized chair to run up to the apartment...I followed along pushing his walker.

We had deer steaks, taters and some veggies. A piece of pumpkin pie finished our feast. I called the Aunt where we WERE to spend Christmas Dinner and she and Titus talked a bit. Later, his lady friend stopped on her return from her kids and visited.

Mid-afternoon, he was ready to head back. He really seemed to enjoy the outing and it renewed his desire to get outa rehab and back to his apartment.

Pop doesn't understand much of the internet, but appreciates knowing that there are people that he, nor I, have ever met praying for his full recovery back to independent living.

Thanks. Happy New Year to one and all.

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Might I ask yet more prayers for Pop?

Today, around mid morning, they will take him up to his apartment and do a "home assessment" It is some anal formality they have to go through to run through his place and make "suggestions" for any changes in furniture etc, so that they can legally releasee him from rehab to return to his apt and independent living.

Dad is about at wits end. His "roomate" is quite needy and creates a lot of angst for Pop...Dad's quite ready in his mind to return home and be on his own and continue PT as an outpatient from the connected apt.

Thanks for all the prayers and support. Be a blessing, if he's ready, to see him back in his own domicile!

Good news! Tite (Titus) is going home tomorrow mid-morning!! Thank you, Lord!!!

They're going to walk him back up to his apt from the rehab center and allow him to continue outpatient PT!

He's so ready! I've got bunches of work to do as he's really littered his apt with junk on the floor here and there. I've got to get all that crap outa there to ensure he doesn't take any tumbles in his OWN apt now.

Nobody told us that raising parents was such tough work!

Thanks for all the prayers.

Good news Dave. Praying for strength and wisdom for your father as he readjusts.
