This week has been a ROUGH one for me!
I've had to make a lot of decisions as far as my dads care once he gets home.
I don't feel he is ready to come back to his place; he still is very weak, has the trach tube in for breathing, also had surgery today to have the feeding tube placing in his stomach.
The dr.'s told us that he needs 24/7 supervision for awhile, which that is impossible for me to provide for him being that I work, have kids, go to school and have the wedding/honeymoon coming up.
I spoke to my dad about my concerns that he wouldn't have the proper care he deserves if we went that route; we decided that he will come back here and be in a short term acute care rehab facility. He will be visited daily by a dr. and have a nursing staff to care for him. He is unable to speak so that makes things tough too. I want him to be safe and receive the speech/physical therapy he needs so he can continue to recover. In a month or so they also want him to begin radiation treatments which would be 5 days a week for 6 weeks! He is going to be wiped out!! So it looks like he will be transported home this Monday via and ambulance. I hate that he won't be home for halloween to see the boys or his birthday which is this Sunday but we will make both of those days up to him:)
Have you ever had to make decisions like this one for a member of your family?
Its so overwhelming to me!
Any advice would be so appreciated!!
Love,
Noelle ♥

Wow that is one really cool farm you went too! What a bunch of neat rides and activities they have. ER would love that cow train.
On a more serious note, I am sorry to hear you've had to make some hard decisions. From what you've shared I definitely agree with your choices, you need to make sure he has the best care that is foremost in importance.
PS: I am sorry I forgot to email you back on the other matter. Of course I don't mind, I thought that would end up being the case. I was there once too, m'dear! But I appreciate your sweet wish to have us there.
Oh The kids look like they are having a Ball!
You must have alot of energy to keep up with those two.
All the best with your dad...The fact that these decisions will be made by a loving Daughter I am sure they will all be the right ones.
You can only do so much.
That farm is so cool! My girls would have a blast! They would want to never leave! The cow train is so adorable!!
I am sorry that you are stressing about your Dad. I have never had to make tough decisions like that and it sounds like you made the right choice.
Thoughts are with you.
What a great place, looks like the boys had a blast!
I'm so sorry about the tough decisions you've had to make for your dad, but I agree with Katie. I think you definitely made the right decision. Your family remains in my thoughts & prayers!
Sorry things have been so rough for you, Noelle! Since I'm the baby of the family, I've never had to make any of those type of decesions for my family members. I know you're doing a great job and that the Lord is leading you and strengthening you! ♥
Thankfully I have never had to decide things like this, but my mother had to with her brother. So I know it can be hard for someone. Because it was hard for her. I hope he has a full recovery. Those pictures are too cute!
Noelle, your boys are so cute. Our pumpkin patch had a cow train too. How funny!
I'm sorry that you're having to make decisions like this. I'm sure it is hard. I had to help my mom make decisions and arrangements after my dad died but those didn't actually affect him. So I can't imagine. But hang in there, girl! You are a strong woman and your big day is coming up!
hello my darling girl...
I have been watching you on facebook and saying my prayers everynight for you and your family. So you have been in my thoughts. I am really excited for you and all the good to come your way in the next 15 days. How exciting.
Your kids look like they had a blast at the patch...I have photos of mine there too.
Also, don't forget to leave a comment on my blog candy - you never know you may just be the lucky winner this time around. :D
xoxoxo

I love going to the pumpkin farm and the one you went to looked awesome. By looking at the pictures, one can really tell how much fun the boys were having:-)
My heart goes out to you, I know how worried you are about your dad and yes, it's very hard to make decisions like that. I think the right one was made, though, about where he's going to go to get the care he needs. Keeping him in my thoughts and prayers. xoxo
Hey Noelle,
I have never had to make decisions for a family member, but you've done a wonderful job of it sweetie. I know how hard this can be, only because my mama had to help make decisions when it came to grandma, and I watched her anguish over it all. You all will be in my prayers. I am so sorry that all of this has happened. This too shall pass.
I love the pictures of the pumpkin patch...that looks like such a fun place...I know you and the boys enjoyed it! You'll be in my thoughts...
Big Hugs,
Queenie
