    Continuing my prayers to both

    Continuing my prayers to both of you.  I remember my sister's husband getting in patient care but there was a limit in the number of days.  Hope you have had enough rest to continue to provide the care.  God Bless

    Hi Debbie

     

    That is good news and I pray for you that all will go well, do you have any family nearby that can help. I hope so but if not I pray that God will send an angle to give you the strength you need.

     

    God Bless you and Jim

    updates

    Jim arrived home about 1:30 pm Sunday. He was thrilled to be home. He had to many visitors and I think they got him keyed up because he couldn't sleep. I gave him some sleep medicinearound 12 am but he still did not fall asleep until 2am. Then I was so keyed up I couldn't fall asleep until sometime after 3am. Jim woke me at 7am and was up and restless until around 9am. He is now sound asleep. I had two cups of coffee to wake me up so I can't sleep. I pray he gets his sleeping straight soon. And I am going to limit visitors in late afternoon/evenings.

    deb, limiting visits sounds

    deb, limiting visits sounds like the right idea for both of you.  hope you both get some good/deep sleep soon.

    praying for you,
