Getting Help

So this next week will start a different routine for us. I have hired some Home Care assistance so that I can go back to work part-time. We tried the last couple weeks to work it out between me & my kids but Holly started a new job this week and with Rocky's schedule between his two jobs it makes it a bit difficult to coordinate it all. Also working in the construction industry I need to be available much earlier in the day. So Julie will be starting on Tuesday here at the house with Ric. For the next few weeks I will be going into the office Tues/Weds/Thurs. Julie will help Ric - which is mainly taking medication on schedule, making sure he does not fall when walking around the house & preparing his meals since he does not cook (nor do I trust that he would eat healthy on his own). She will also do some light housekeeping for me which will be nice. I have been home (or in the hospital) with Ric for nearly 24/7 since August 24th. Even though he is disappointed that he has this current bump in the road he understands that I need to get back to my job. As I've said before I have been so very blessed by all the vacation time donated to me by my coworkers so that I could be with him and be paid. Ric was hoping to be back to work at least parttime by now. So far this week he is doing fine but really tired all the time. Of course some of this is what comes with the chemo but also with a brain tumor that got a chance to grow again. So this week he's pretty much been eating & sleeping with occasional spurts of energy to draw and get on the computer. We need your prayers for him to start getting some energy to want to do more and for a smooth transition with our new help Julie. Thanks for all your prayers these past few weeks with all the bumps that we've had.
