The weather was cooler today and I had hoped that might help John feel a little better. I am not sure it made any difference. The most noticable thing I have found in the last few days is that he cannot walk, even with his walker, without me there to make sure he does not fall.
The blessing we had today was that one of the other tenants in our building came and offered to stay with John so that I could go out and do some shopping etc. He is a very nice man from Poland and he talks a blue streak so John does not have to say a word!! He has offered to come back next Tuesday and give me some time then as well.
The valve - or whatever you might call it - on the end of John's feeding tube was beginning to break. I could not get another one at the medical supply store. They suggested that I try the dietician at the hospital. She gave me a new one - but it is not like what we had before and it is HUGE and bulky and not practical at all. The pharmacist is trying to find us another kind.
Please pray that John's strength will return
Pray that the meds will work better.
Pray that we will get the proper valve for the tube

Maybe one thumbs down for today -
