Sorry I have not written for some time...we have had a very busy week.  We were busy with phone calls and visits with friends, we had doctor visits, and home care coming in...just to name a few things we were up to last week.

Ric had a nice time with a couple friends for the big game last Sunday.  He was not able to get out of bed that day...so we invited his buddies to come watch from the bedroom...nobody wanted to snuggle with Ric in the bed though.  Ric did not make the chilli, his energy levels were very low, he did eat some chilli and corn muffins however. 

I just want to thank you all for your acts of kindness lately.  Meals were brought in, muffins and snack cakes, and even more edible arrangements...this has truly helped our family, for me it is difficult to find that inspiration to cook lately...therefore this has helped a ton.

Home care is wonderful...if Ric needs blood work done, lab services comes in and takes his blood.  We have a nurse available to come out whenever we may need...for now just once a week.  Occupational health has come out and checked out our house to see what type of improvements need to be made to make things more adaptable for Ric.  A physiotherapist will be coming out to see if there is anything he could help with...as stairs become more of a challenge these days.  A oncology doctor just phoned me today to check in...and has expressed concern, Ric does a lot of sleeping these days.  Doc wants to see Ric this Thursday.  Ric has another MRI slated for Thursday evening, so I am going to try to get the doctor visit changed to Friday...so they can look at that first, perhaps.
