I guess Mike wasn't so unusual.<br /><br />Liz - Mike is OK today. He had a visit with the hospice nurse as well as the priest. My mom said they actually gave him a piece of communion today - which I KNOW he misses so much.<br /><br />Gizmo has been fine the rest of the day. He's still a little shell shocked, but he appears to be OK. I hated seeing him so scared, but I was glad to be able to make it right.<br /><br />Thank you both for checking in.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13072387476319001779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886833952306018227.post-27458629245021069802009-10-15T19:26:36.649-05:002009-10-15T19:26:36.649-05:00Hi Karen,
How are you and Mike today? I want to t...Hi Karen,<br /><br />How are you and Mike today? I want to thank you for letting us get to know his personal side and some of the things he enjoyed. Not many people are as kind to others as Mike sounds he was. I am wondering with Mikes family history, did Mike ever fear developing Alzheimers? Was it something the two of you ever discussed? With all the faith I have in God I often have to wonder why certain things in life happen. I do know God will never lead you down a road you can't walk or to a mountian you can't climb. If <br />God puts us in a situation he will see us through it. I know you have said that you, Brandon and Courtney don't feel you are doing anything out of the ordinary in caring for Mike which is what makes it all so special to us outsiders. You don't even realize how wonderful you three are! What a Blessing that you each have each other and Mike too! Too many other people just would not do what you do. How is Gizmo? Oh my Gosh a 4 inch piece of bush...ouch! I enjoy following your blog, I do wish the "storyline" was different for you, Mike, for your children,for all people with Alzheimers. You have truly brought an awareness to the forefront of Alzheimers and how it can rob a person and their family of a lifetime. <br />Goodnight Karen.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815458846495853334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-886833952306018227.post-72562754927400431812009-10-15T17:21:56.223-05:002009-10-15T17:21:56.223-05:00Hi Karen,
One thing that makes you so real to me ...Hi Karen,<br /><br />One thing that makes you so real to me is that while dealing with a very sick husband, you still have normal everyday life to deal with too! Poor Gizmo! I hope the poor pup is over his ordeal from this morning!<br /><br />Thank you for letting me get to know Mike a little bit. I have the impression that he was a little on the quiet side, and very gentle and loving. No wonder you and Mike have such great kids together! As for his choice in baseball teams, I have to side with you, as my kids and I are Mets fans too. However, I don't know much about sports, so I choose my teams by the colors of the uniforms too! I guess Mike and I would have had that in common as kids. :P<br /><br />I enjoy your blogs Karen. You have such a good heart.<br /><br />Love, DianeDianenoreply@blogger.com
