My hat's off to all you caregivers. I'm a nurse by trade and was very good at it, but I always got to go home at the end of the day. Ya'all are amazing.
And go little Kendra!
Blooie, did you ever look into getting some help for the heavy stuff?
We finally got our guardianship papers filed for Echo. The Court Visitor called today to make an appointment and we chatted on the phone a while. From some of the questions he asked, it just makes me sad thinking what he must see in the course of his job. But they were just funny for me, cause I know Echo and my other boys. Things like, was I concerned about Echo being a year older than Big Boy, cause next year he (Echo) would legally be able to buy cigarettes and give them to my other kids. I just laughed and said he wouldn't dare! Not that any of them want to smoke anyway, they all know how nasty it is. And watching Pop-pop drag on for the last few years with his horrible heart and associated issues, and seeing the only thing keeping him going is wanting one more smoke, has made a big impact. And then the CV was saying after Echo is 18 we can't compel him to go to school, what will we do if he doesn't want to finish his senior year? Well, we'd boot his butt out, that's what we'd do. But the entire point of him living with us is so he can graduate, and he's so motivated. His grades are great, and attendance is wonderful. I don't know how he's such a great kid with all he's been through. God truly has plans for him, that's for sure!
Anyway, the CV will be out tomorrow to talk with us. As he put it, make sure we're not running Party Central. I told him the biggest party we had was cleaning horse stalls......so I'll probably spend tomorrow cleaning up the house. Probably put my convalescing chicken outside, she's kind of stinky. Hope you all have a good day tomorrow, and if anyone wants to come work off some issues by cleaning, just let me know, I'll leave the gate open for you
. I hate cleaning.
