Sarah is Home
Sarah came home earlier this week! She came bouncing in the house and went straight back to Pop’s room. He matched her level of excitement and beamed with joy to see her. She shared pictures, her rock collection, brochures, and memories of her trip with us. It is so nice to have her home.
Last Wednesday, we went to the VA and he received his flu shot. At least that is out of the way. With everyone getting sick and Florida having one of the highest numbers for the flu, we don’t want him getting sick.
This week we went to get his blood work done. That took forever! We were at the lab for over an hour waiting to be called. There weren’t a lot of people there, they were just very slow.
Hopefully, we will be back at Pat and Tina’s this next week; helping them move into the new house. The light construction work is finished and now it is time to start moving in boxes. Bob will be a great supervisor for that job.
Enjoy a few of Sarah’s pictures of Yellowstone, Mount Rushmore, and the Bad Lands.

Another week
Well, it’s been a good week for Bob talking to family and friends. He got to talk to all of Tina’s girls this week and that really made him feel good. Any time he gets to talk with his grandchildren always make Bob feel happy. He also was able to talk to his brothers and some friends this week.
Pat and Tina have bought a new house. They are getting it ready to move in. Painting, cleaning, and some light construction work. Bob and I have been going over to help with the painting. He has enjoyed getting out of the house and actually helping. He’s done a great job and is looking forward to us returning this week for more help.
Sarah will return home in two weeks, so the house is still very quiet with her gone. Bob gets confused with a quiet house and will come out of his room ‘looking’ for people. When she returns home he will be confused because there will be noise in the house. We miss her and can’t wait for her return home. She has had a fabulous trip.
Bob is on a new medication from the neurologist for his Parkinson’s. It appears to be working great. He doesn’t like taking it. It is a large pill and I have to cut it in half for him. He still doesn’t like it even though I cut it in half. Oh well, at least the medication is working.
Tomorrow he will get a treat seeing his granddaughter, Christina. She is coming down for a week to visit with Pat and Tina and see the new house. I know he will love visiting with her.
Wednesday, we return to the VA for a regular podiatry appointment. He always likes going to the VA.
We hope to hear from you all soon.
