THE STORM RAGES

Marvin comes home tomorrow from Voc Rehab to stay. His time there has been helpful and we hope to find more therapy here as that is the only way we will see progress. The storm has blown water in the hole that should be his bathroom but that is another story. I meet with someone tomorrow who may be the answer to prayers for a new helper/caregiver. She has been helping her father recover from a car crash and has him back up and walking/driving. Perhaps this will be a great fit for us both. I have been his only caregiver since the last service stopped showing up in July.
A wonderful person at the West Ashley pool has called to say she will help us get Marvin in the pool!! That has excited him as he has been sad to leave the pool in Columbia as it gives him such a sense of hope when he walks in the water. I have been working his arms to get back some of the movement he lost while in the hosp.
Thank you to all of you for the cards and prayers after the death of his mother. Batesy was 96 and beginning to fail fast but the death of one's mother is always hard. To know Marvin is not forgotten has been one of the most uplifting things about this very sad time.
I am hoping to find a new contractor to finsih this room. Anyone who feels like being a carpenter, electrician, painter, porch builder just let me know. Got to get this bathroom done before I get even nuttier!!
God Bless you and Keep you Safe
Cathie and Marvin
