Does St. Joseph have any community Facebook pages? I moderate one down here that has over 54000 members. We have several (and I mean several) people/businesses who advertise on there that I never would have heard of or found otherwise. There are even people who will pick up dog poo or deep clean trash dumpsters. We have a ton of house cleaners, laundry doers, lawn care, etc. I can reach out to a few to see if they know of any services up there.

I just talked to him again, he does have a regular cleaning lady so that's out. He's never mowed his own lawn, always had a service...out. No dogs anymore...just cats.

But I'm heading down there tomorrow with a load of food, just have to see if anything jumps out at me. This is also going to be a long haul, might be quiet now, give it a minute or two and things are most certainly going to come up.

Oh, and his sister in law (not sister as I mistakenly referred earlier) is heading back to Louisiana so just him and his brother for the next week. That's sure to do some damage.

Give us an update when you're down there bug.

Cousin of mine's husband was in a similar situation, started turning a corner, they were thinking of taking him out of ICU, popped a fever again and died this morning.

****ing COVID.

Unfortunately there's not much to update, it's going to take time for her lungs to heal. However, she's taken no more steps back, which in this situation is pretty much the best news you can hear.

I don't believe she's going to leave us, it would have happened already. She's coming home.

Excellent.

Haven't seen any updates on FB, so I thought I'd check in to see if anyone know how she's doing.

I see Joe posted on his personal page yesterday a gif about Jesus leaving 99 to find 1, so maybe no news is good news

Last three days:

Kathy is doing about the same they're going to keep her on her back again.
I've made the decision after visiting with some family and medical professionals to move forward with the tracheotomy and feeding tube.
The doctor is a bit negative in my opinion talking about her quality of life but he doesn't know Kathy and what she's had to endure for 20+ years and I'm not giving up on God either.
She's also on lower sedation so if anyone would like to visit please reach out to me as I want her to continue to hear voices she knows. ❤️

•••11-23•••
I meet with the surgeon tomorrow morning between 7:30 and 8 and he will walk me through the tracheotomy and feeding tube procedure. My brother is coming with me to interpret.
It sounds as though they're going to try surgery tomorrow evening so please add to your prayers. ❤️

•••11-24•••
No surgery today she had a rough morning with heart rate oxygen etc. so much so the vent is back to 100% 😢

Sounds like she's having a down day, hoping things turn around.

Thank you for the updates.

Good grief :( prayers

Praying hard for that Family. Thanks for the update, Smitty

:(

With God all things are possible. Even though I feel helpless here, I know that there is power in prayer. I'm lifting them both up in prayer today.

In

Hang in there Joe.
And I'll keep praying.
