A Busy Few Days

The past two days have been a whirlwind of people and activities. Marge and Norm have been meeting all of the hospice team members and have been very pleased with the care so far. Norm just hollered from the back to praise all of the folks from hospice. They are great people and already a wonderful support system. Yesterday they met the chaplain, and really enjoyed him. The bath aide came to help as well. Today Norm had some physical therapy, and they confirmed that he did indeed have a stroke, not a TIA. There are a few lingering symptoms, but all in all, he is doing really well. After PT, they saw the nurse, the social worker, and had two deliveries from the medical supply people. Carl stopped by as well as Dean Herman for a visit with Norm. Judy J. did some shopping for Marge and came by with a grocery delivery. Andy, Ali, Brady and Drew arrived from Redmond and Pete and Tracy will be here any minute. The phone has been ringing off the hook, but things are getting accomplished and Marge is getting things checked off her list (lists) - so she is able to rest easier at night. Other than that, not much is going on....

I think Norm is a little tired today, but has such a positive spirit and really seems at peace with all of the commotion around him. Still pain free and alert - with the dog on his lap.

That's all for now, its time to go and sit with Norm.
