I am so exhausted. I told Gail at church tonight I feel so empty and tired. She gave me a hug and cried with me and that was comforting. She has sick grandbabies and has lost a grandbaby and that makes a difference. You never know until you walk in someone's shoes, how it really is.
Preston has been a bit cranky this week and that has been so discouraging. He has shown some anger and that is new for him since his illness. But overall he is still a much nicer personality than he was. He is also back in his own room instead of in the living room and is very happy about that. He can watch his dvds and not be surrounded by noise like he was out here.
He went to church tonight and sat up afterwards and ate when we came home. He was very tired though and glad to lay down.
He is having problems urinating again. He is only urinating about once every 24 hrs. If he cannot urinate in a.m. then he has to be cathed. I pray he will because the cathing if hard for me to do sometimes, and it makes him very sore for a while. I am trying to push fluids more so he will go more. He won't use a urinal or a bedside commode, so we have to walk him to the bathroom and back. I have to get behind him and wrap my arms around him and walk him to bathroom. He is so staggery and off balance. It is hard on my body, but changing diapers was too, and they were so hot for him and irritating.
All of Hannah's papers that she filled out got lost and they had to resend and she has filled them out again and mailed them to Columbia. It will help me if I can have more help than 9 hrs/week. I need more help; and Hannah will be here to take care of him. Please pray that it works out soon for her to come.
So you have read my downhearted post tonight, and I hope to get a good night's rest and feel much better in a.m.
