He was at Stein Hospice in Firelands Hospital in Sandusky, Ohio.
Cordell laid on his bed with him for the last two days, not even getting up when I would get up from my chair. He knew, and wanted Dad to have that comfort.
While we were there, my husband got a voice mail message from his employer here in Indiana, stating that while he understood about family and such things, his business was lacking, so he needed to lay him off. (Wasn't that nice of him?)
Anyhoo~ I have been working boatloads of overtime trying to get caught up on bills and such, and I think I have finally made a dent! Thank You, God!
We have the pool up, haven't added shock to it yet, or had the pump running (like adorame), but these silly children of mine have climbed in! LOL! I don't mind, but these old bones of mine are to apt to get cold! LOL!
DD#2 is ready to pop any day with grandchild (due June 25th they say) and DD#3 will be ready August 4th in Colorado. We want to go, but just don't see how it will be possible. Gas is rediculous around here! (Well, everywhere, I imagine.)
And before I write a book, I will go.
Hope someone comes back before too long!

I had my mother move in with us in August of 2001 she was diagnosed with lung cancer in DEcember and she passed away May 7th 2002. I had the task of taking care of everything for her. I am still getting threatening letters trying to sue for bills, my dad had divorced her and she owned only a few belongings on her person and nothing else. Then in 2003 my Granfather had fallen in his bathroom and laid there for 8 hours before his neighbors noted something was wrong, they called ambulance and the hosptil in the quad city didn't do anything and sent him home in the care of his neighbors, I got a call and drove 4 hours to find him breathing very hard and I took him home to Indiana and I had to get Guardianship of him and I took care of him until he began exhibiting aggressive behavior associated with Alzheimers. After having to put him in a Nursing home he passed awy with in 5 months. He blamed me for all his anguish. He couldn't even remember my name. He was the gentalist man all my life it was the most difficult thing I ever had to go through. I couldn't even visit him or I stirred him up so he got uncontrollable. He didn't own anything except a few pieces of furniture. He was a WWII vet and he had no money in the bank but because I could not provide a bank statement from the illinois bank he had an acocunt with 2 1/2 years before I applied he was denied medicaid. I get threatening letters every time I turn around for his medical bills. I wish you could sue the system when it denies service for stupid reasons. I could provide info were we had the money transfered from his illinois account to start his new account in Indiana. They absolutely needed a bank statement with a zero balance. Getting ahold of the bank didn't help they had closed out all old accounts they sent something to the Medicaid office but of course they said they never got it.
I made sure he was buried in the Rock Island Arsenal cemetary where My Grandmother was already buried.
I miss them terribly.
