    • Sorry

      From jk54cat November 4

      Sorry that you and your mom are struggling. Just got back from my overnight shift. Mom coughed all night and all of our arsenal of stuff didn't help. Pretty much a sleepless night for us both.
      I know that you are trying hard to help your mom. Hang in there. I know that you are your mom's 'joy'...
      Love,
      Jan

      From jk54cat November 2

      Hi Joy,
      I had a little 'bug' this last week so had to let my brother and others take care of mom for a couple of days. I just knew I was getting run down! Did you bring your mom home, as planned?
      Thinking of you today,

      It is always nice to hear from you. Are you still planning on bringing your mom home toward the end of this month? Here's to hoping that you are having a wonderful fall day..
      Love,

      From jk54cat October 21

      Thanks for thinking about us. Just spent the night with mom and I have come home for a couple of hours to feed my animals and shower. We are trying a new sleep aid for mom and last night we were still up about ten times..I have realized that the best money I am spending right now is for the overnight caregivers other than myself! This is such a slow process, as you know...
      Love,
      Jan

    • I’m With You

      From jk54cat September 13

      It was nice to hear from you. Yes, we have Hospice, my brother and I (he lives with mom and I live next door) just got assessed by a caregiving organization. This weekend my cousin is staying over and this is the first two nights that I have been able to sleep in my own bed in awhile! Let's keep in touch. I know what you are going through and we have alot in common...
      Love,
      Jan
