More Family

Yesterday (Wednesday) Mike Creighton came over to be with Curt so I could walk with 4 of my friends. It felt good to walk and be outdoors. I was able to get some groceries after that. Jack Hufford arrived with my brother, Tom, and his wife, Sharon, after 1 o'clock. They were delayed at the airport in Portland because the airline had had bent the frame and broken the seat of Sharon's walker (she has Parkinson's). Linda came shortly after they arrived and later Hospice brought a walker for her to use while here. She has a problem with the seat being too high, but I think they will use it. Linda and I both notice that Curt is getting much weaker. A big concern is the blood in his mouth. It is not much now, but Linda could see the holes in the back of mouth are growing. It could possibly lead to some major bleeding. She brought sponge swabs to wet and use in his mouth. Curt had a couple other visitors during the day, and a couple people brought some supper and more "goodies".
This morning the Cravens came over to be with Curt. I didn't want Tom to take care of both Curt and Sharon. I played tennis again, but decided to get a sub for my USTA match this Sunday. Angie, Maddie and Vega and Steve Love came about 10:30. Steve was flying back to San Diego this afternoon. I heard that Curt actually sat at our dining table a little while I was gone. He has been sleeping this afternoon. It is a rainy day today. Maddie and Vega have been good, but Angie took them to the "bouncy place" to get rid of some energy. Tom went to the grocery store. I finally finished my mailing labels for the Folk Club, but I still need to work on those files later. Angie is going to make some chicken noodle soup for supper. A Caregiver is supposed to come sometime after 5 to talk to us.
