Thank you to our wonderful daughter for spending a great deal of her day here to help out! The nurse came today and they got to meet our new nurse who will be starting next week.  I hope to be here on Thursday to meet the new gal who will be R's nurse. 

His day was good today. It's amazing that some days are not so good and others are just the opposite.  I prefer the better ones.  Unfortunately the not so good days seem to outnumber the better ones. We try to always find the positive and keep things upbeat no matter what.  Somedays that is a struggle but it's important when you are caring for him.  I was thinking today about how the grandkids have pretty much forgotten the way things used to be. How Grandpa used to take them for walks - romp on the floor with them - play games and puzzles them.....the list could go on.... they have totally accepted his illness and the way they see him these days. To see things through their eyes....  

God has a way of orchestrating the various races we run during the course of our lives.  He trusts us to do our part in "manning the rigs."  We must trust Him to determine the result of the race.  As one engineer has said, "God provides the initial input.  We provide the output. And God provides the outcome."
