An Easy Gig

I asked my mom to talk a little about her time sitting with Tim's dad today...


This is Karen - Flora's mom.

Lee and I just spent some time with Steve at The Christ Hospital. It felt good to give Nancy a little break and she was so appreciative.

David Monroe from Lakeside was also there so that made visiting much easier. Nancy said Steve likes to listen in on other people's conversations so that's what we did - we stood by his bed sharing stories and tried to include Steve.

After a while, he indicated he had pain so we called the nurse - he also spelled out NECK so she administered pain medication and repositioned him. After that, he seemed to be more comfortable.

I asked him, "Would you like us to just be quiet now?" He indicated "Yes" and we cracked up. He went to sleep and we sat playing quietly with our iPads until Becky showed up.

Thank you, Kristy, for getting the "Lotsa Helping Hands" calendar up and working. I downloaded the app to my phone and that is going to make the scheduling easy.



Tim talking now:

If you are willing and able to help, you can sign up for a time slot to sit with Dad. Just go to the link below. You'll need to join under the "Join this Community" link on the left, then you can access the calendar and see what times we could use someone to sit and keep dad company. (Once there, click on the "Month" view to see the specific times.) Thanks so much and let us know if you have any questions.
