Update

Marge and Norm asked me to update the blog this morning with a few bits of news from the past couple of days...

Norm has started hospice care and is resting comfortably at home. He is awake and aware and probably watching Sunday football right now.

Yesterday, he had a small setback, it appears that he had another TIA/stroke. He was unable to talk very well and having trouble swallowing again. But, the good news is that most of the syptoms have improved over night and he's doing much better today. A nurse will be by later today for an evaluation.

Norm is settled into his hospital stlyle bed in the master bedroom and Marge has been resting in the guest room right across the hall. The one who is benefitting from the the most is the dog, Larue. She's been invited up on to Norm's bed and has taken her favorite place by his side. She continues to be his constant companion.

We are still planning Thanksgiving dinner and will have it catered by Huber's. Please keep Norm and Marge in your thoughts and prayers and give your love ones and extra hug today and everyday.

We will continue to keep updates coming if anything changes.
