I start my long term leave today. I was lucky to get some great substitute teachers for my classroom so that I can relax and just concentrate on being at home. Stan continues to decline. He hasn't felt well enough to attend church for the last two weeks. He hasn't left the house for about a week and a half, when his boss had to drive him home because he had a dizzy spell at work. As his body slowly gives up on him his mind still plans for the days when he will feel a little better. He is still hoping to get to work to put in about 3 hours, to put the finishing touches on his last project. We had some wonderful visits from church friends last night and he lit up at the package of pictures of his grandchildren from Tom and Erin.
Thank you for being there to share this journey with us. We love you and thank you for your support.

I'm so glad you're able to be at home for now - but I feel sad that Stan isn't able to leave the house much.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you were able to work out your leave... I thought of you often on Monday, wondering how it was all coming along.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how I can help. I'm thinking of bringing over an enormous block of Velveeta cheese.

You are in our thoughts and prayers! We love you!!! :)
ReplyDeleteClint, you helped so much when you removed that large dead branch. It is so nice not to worry every time the wind blows. Now for the Velveeta cheese, nice thought but I don't think he wants it for every meal.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be having a busy thought time at about 2 A.M. - please fill free to call.
ReplyDeleteBoth of you are thought about with warmth and concern. Always- Zelda
Love to both of you! I wish I lived closer, so we could visit more.
