what's up

The house is a little more lonely these days.

Noah left for college two weeks ago and I moved Kaia to her new apartment yesterday. With Neeks at a new school orientation today, the reality of this year is starting to set in.

Last week we were advised that it is no longer feasible for me to care for Rico at home alone. With his new status of being bedbound, it means that I am also completely homebound unless there is another adult in the house. There have been too many instances of too many issues to leave him alone for even a walk around the block. 

Despite this advice, there is no in home-health care to be had, and no beds available at nearby hospice centers. There is a shortage of health care workers and everyone everywhere is struggling with this.

Depending on the day, he's ok with the thought of moving - mostly because they may be able to use a hoya lift to get him into a wheelchair. He misses going for walks and feeling the sun on his face. I miss taking him, but I don't want him to leave this home - our home.

We are so lucky to live where we do. Friends and neighbors have stepped in to help the past few days, so  I could get Kaia moved in to a fifth floor apartment and make sure Neeks is as ready as she can be to start her new school.

Thank you all for the prayers and for reaching out to us. We are constantly humbled at how many people it takes to just help us get through the days, and how many of you show up for us. We love you, and can't wait for the day we can show you how much.
