Poll Parent Update

Russ & I will be going to Grand Rapids on Saturday to meet with Russ’ Mom to let her know all Russ has learned about nursing homes & what to do about paperwork & financial issues. His mom is out of the hospital but is exhausted from her health issues & all she is dealing with. His Dad could stay in the rehab hospital a total of 100 days if they felt they could help him to walk & take care of himself but it sounds like they aren’t able to help him. It sounds like his dementia is just due to old age & some days are better than others. We, of course, plan to visit Russ’ Dad on Saturday also. They are considering taking him in the Vets Facility in Grand Rapids. Ed works there as a nurse & he feels Dad would get good care & Ed could keep a close eye on him. Since Ed works there & Dad is a Vet he would be put at the top of the list to get in.

Dan would like to go also but won’t be going because he has a good cold & doesn’t want to give it to anyone. Thankfully Russ & I haven’t been sick………
