Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know I'll only be posting sporadically for the next few days and won't have time to blog visit. Will catch up with you all soon.
My father-in-law is quite ill in the hospital (it's touch and go so we don't know what the outcome will be) and my mother-in-law, who has Alzheimer's, is staying with us. Our hands are quite full at the moment.
Sorry I didn't get to participate in Blogroll Amnesty Day - this all started on the afternoon of Super Bowl Sunday. We did get to watch the game - in the hospital.
Will keep you posted...
***UPDATE***
Things are improving...must be all your good wishes, positive thoughts and prayers that did it. My father-in-law had emergency surgery (he had been having intestinal bleeding that wouldn't stop) and they were able to stop the bleeding. He is back in his room in the ICU recovering from the operation.
In the meantime we were able to find respite care (which is short-term for now) at a very nice care facility for my mother-in-law and thankfully, they were able to take her immediately. The place has a homelike atmosphere, TVs in the rooms, good food (we tried it out when they brought her dinner!) and caring people.
Thanks again for everyone's support and good wishes. Will keep you posted.

Hope things get easier soon. Thinking of you and your family ...
I'm holding you in the light now. It's a Quaker thing. :-) Some might say, thinking of you, prayerfully.
You know you have a lot of positive energy coming your way.
(Don't forget to breathe.)
My thoughts are with you.
Email me if you need to talk.
Drive safe on the icy road.
Oh dear, take care and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I send groovy thoughts your way.
Hope things go better for you and your family.
Will keep positive thoughts flowing your way
I'm so sorry... you and your family are in my thoughts.
There must be something about dads at the moment; yours is the third one I've read. Hope all goes well.
Good luck with everything, and see you when you return.
Thanks so much, everyone, for all your good wishes. I really appreciate it.
Oh dear, old folks and the children who love them. Always something until the day that it's nothing at all, hard now, harder then. Those of us blessed with aging parents have done it, are doing it, will do it. Thinking of you!
Femaildoc, thanks for your thoughts...I know, so true about that continuum of it being always something...until it's nothing. I know you are going through the same hard times with your own mom so I am thinking of you as well.
Oh my heart goes out to you...Ive cared for two loved ones with Alzheimer's and its never easy..
My prayers and thoughts for your family and your strength..

I am losing it- I thought I left a comment here the other day.
You know you have my good thoughts always.
Glad things are going better.
Thanks, Dorothy - this is my second - my dad had Alzheimer's also during the last couple of years of his life (he didn't get it until he was over 90 so that was a blessing). My mother-in-law is a sadder case as she started getting it much younger, in her mid 70's. She's turning 80 this year.
Fran, thanks so much for your thoughts and good wishes.
Glad there's some good news. :)
wow,,,so much going on for you....many good wishes and much light to you and your family....namaste.
