Judy and I went to see Mom and Dad yesterday. Dad had been to Evansville on a plane, stripped, etc. He was not too good. Mom was in a mood. The young girl that's always been so talkative wasn't yesterday which was weird. I asked her what was going on with Dad, and she said he'd had a bath----but Mom was on a roll yesterday. Mom had 'smacked' her! Not good! Michael Smith (the administrator) had told me earlier that they don't medicate people without cause, but they have to be able to approach the resident and care for them without fear of being hit, etc. He said something about sending them to a behavorial place --- that he'd done it to his own step-mother. Anyway, Mom hitting is NOT good. Pat and I went to see Chad (the lawyer) yesterday, too. Basically it's still a mess financially. There's still too much money floating around in accounts for them. He said that it's a possibility that they'll have to be private pay for 9 months instead of 7! Medicare paying for Dad these two months has messed all that up + Dad's teacher's retirement checks setting in his trust account is TOO much money, too! Anyway, he's not going to start the medicaid process until July or August when things have calmed down some with their accounts! Anyway, I'm procrastenating (sp?) instead of cleaning house and doing errands like I should today. Just not in the mood to do it! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie OH, and P.S. I still need Jamie, Ona, and Pam's idea on the DNR. Sorry for the reminder!

  1. If the rules/guidelines of the DNR order are as you stated...then I guess my vote is ok....really hard for me because of the distance, I'll only get there after they've gone, but it's selfish of me to wish pain and suffering on them...Jamie

  3. I am sorry too Jamie and HATE it for you but IF they found Mom and Dad without a heartbeat NONE of us would get there before they passed which would be a good thing for them I think. I just don't want any needless suffering for something that is totally out of our control. I hate it for you though since you're obviously having a hard time deciding on this. We'll all get through whatever together! IF we can divide all their stuff and come out still loving each other, we can get through anything! LOL Love, Judy
