Ernie entered hospice last night. His nurse will be Billy Goerdt and he will
come weekly to check in. Hospice will take over all medical care so I am
cancelling further VA visits. They will send aides 2-3 times a week to take
care of physical therapy and hygiene. I am still managing a daily breakfast
and supper shift so he will have lots of eyes on him. Hospice is delivering a
hospital bed today which will make it far easier for E to get up and down. He
has been getting steadily more mobil after his most recent fall on the 8th and
was using his walker to get around yesterday. He is lucid and loves visits and
phone calls.
This feels like a huge relief for both of us. Decisions have been made and the
extra help is very much appreciated.
Please share this with any of Ernie’s friends that you know. He was part of
many circles throughout the world and I only know a few of them.
Nancy
