So... this is whats been happening, and I havent mentioned it before because things have been changing by the minute. Right now we are parked in a rest stop for MrD to catch a couple of hours sleep.. before we continue on our 1,225 mile drive to his mums house in Washington state
A couple of weeks ago MrDs stepdad passed away in his sleep. MrDs 90 year old mother.. who is on oxygen 24 hours a day has been marvelously stong, accepting that it was a blessed release and he was now safe in the arms of Jesus. She was determined she was going to remain living in her home til she was able to go into an assisted care facility of her choice.
This plan was taken out of her hands when she was taken into hospital and told she was not well enough to look after herself, and could never return to her home. They put her in a home that is absolutely terrible.. and the word “care” should not be used in the same sentence. But she was willing to wait for the home of her choice
Her rent at her house is paid up until the end of the month so we are going to sort through everything and clear it for her. MrD is the youngest of his siblings, with one sister not well, and a brother with dementia. Hopefully another brother can come help,but its going to be a mammoth task.!
Why did we buy a big three bedroom house when there are only two of us .. why did I go into care work before I left the Uk and learn how to care for the elderly.. why did six job applications for part time work get ignored and why have I just deep cleaned the guest room with its en-suite
Maybe it was Gods plan that mom come live with us.?
So it was put to her.. with the Gods Plan bit thrown in and she agreed.
Everyone is so happy..
I only hope the journey wont be too uncomfortable for her
Love and Hugs

God did a lot of planning for this to come together and it sounds like a blessing for your family to have that extra bedroom and en suite available for her.
