Its been a couple of long days since i wrote last.
On Thursday Carolyn was moved to Highland Care Center, a nice enough place. John doesn't subscribe to regular medicare so she didn't qualify for Aspen Ridge. I am learning quickly that medicare is very complicated.
The move itself was quite taxing on Carolyn and it exhausted her. She is in a shared room and her first roommate was quite crazy - either schizophrenic or severe ahlzheimer. So her 2nd day there she changed rooms and now has a very pleasant roommate. She is faring pretty well and keeping her spirits up, which is very remarkable considering how much pain she is in.
I have been there every day and I usually take Jared and Kamryn with me. They love to color and cutout pictures for her and hang them up in her room. We took Halloween decorations to put on her window.
Its going to be a long haul and we just try to get her through each day.

That's so good of you to visit every day. I'm sure it means the world to her!
Hang in there. You are a good daughter-in-law.
Oh that's so hard Lisa, I'm sorry. When my mom went through this with her mother I saw firsthand how difficult it can be. I'm sure just having her grandbabies around helps a ton though.
