The Hospice nurse and Social Worker came to access Pete, they feel his condition has worsened and it will be Increasingly challenging to care for him at home. He is unable to communicate his needs and his movements are not co-ordinated. He is also not lucid and very drowsy .
We have decided that Assisi Hospice will be able to care for him better than I can for the next few days. Hopefully, with physiotherapy and constant monitoring from the doctors and nurses, Pete will be able to get better rest and recover.
Please pray that we have made the right decision.

Jo, I'm sure you made the right decision. The hospice will be able to provide round the clock care for him. I'm sure Pete can see that too.

ReplyDeletewe are always praying for you and uncle pete and all at home...always draw strength from the lord and surrender your worries to him. Sending you all our hugs and love and hope uncle pete will get better with the help from hospice. "The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing i shall want". this is from my favourite psalm 23 which i always turn to in my down times...hope the lord will always embrace you and provide you with the comfort you need. You're a strong woman!
