Mom is still in ICU but has shown some comforting improvement, as of yesterday. However, the enforced isolation is making her very anxious. We are going to try to get her tablet, glasses, and possibly cell phone if I can find the charger, down to her today, so at least she can read.
I am still here with Dad. Haven't been home since Saturday when this all began. The boss took me out for a short trip to Lowe's and Mayfield Lake, but Dad fell again while we were gone, so we raced back home. I haven't dared leave, even to go walking in the field behind the house, since.
He is having such a hard time getting around the house and at first was not willing to let me lend an arm. As his condition slips downhill in that respect he has let me be a leaning post a little bit, but it means following him every step he takes. He does like to wander around.
I want to thank everyone who has helped, offered to help, or provided prayers, good thoughts and words of encouragement. My sister-in-law, Lisa, the boss and the girls, have done every single thing that has been asked of them and more. Other family members have offered to bring food, run errands, etc. What we really need is someone who is versed in setting up appropriate care for people who have been singularly independent right up until last weekend and can't be independent any more. Maybe more independent than they should have been, but I guess that is a common issue.
Meanwhile, I am tired and discouraged and miss my home and people. I hope you will continue to keep mom and dad in your prayers. I truly believe that the many prayers offered up for mom have made a magnificent difference in the course of her illness. so please and thankyou for continuing.
Love to all

it’s a month today that Dad fell 2x in a day... he’s trying to independently walk... & how they’ve alarmed his bed... poor old fiercely independent farmer... what was a strength is now a hazard.
God Bless you & you’re not alone!!
