Thank you everyone for your kind words, support and prayers. This has been such a horrific experience to go thru. And then to have this Pastors wife call me from out of no where, "demanding" that I take care of my daughter for 1 1/2 weeks while they are on a cruise. I feel that since she knew they had this planned and paid for so long, taking on all of this right now was extremely nice but we did have other options that the social worker was working on for my Daughter. I could have taken in my youngest Grand Daughter for that time or even longer, just as my ex husband has done with my oldest Grand Daughter. The main concern right now, is my Daughter and her 24 hour care. This Pastors wife is even leaving my Daughter alone while teaching at the church preschool next door, church services and all the other things a Pastors wife must do. I feel the harsh reality has set in and they are realizing they took on more than they can handle. In a few months once my daughter right arm has recovered and out of the cast and the left leg is recovered and out of the immobilizer, her care will be ALOT easier since she will finally be mobile. That is when I can do more for her because I would not need to lift or put strain on my own body. Well, except for helping her in/out of her wheel chair. Eventually she will start to use a walker. Which I also use when I am flared up this badly.
I did have a very long conversation with my Daughter. My sister asked some questions since she works in the medical profession and found out if someone will readmit my daughter into the hospital the options open up again to place her somewhere that is "skilled" with this level of care. My Daughter really needs medically skilled people caring for her at this time and for several months.
I am so thankful this Pastors wife took care of my oldest Grand Daughter while my Daughter and yougest Grand Daughter were both in the hospital. And then brought my youngest Grand Daughter into her home, once released from the hospital. But taking on my Daughter with this level of care, is overwhelming I am sure and they are now realizing it is too much for them. My ex husband and I both recognized this since we were both there every day, all day/night. This is why we were working with social workers for options to place my Daughter into a rehab facility. We would never have agreed to this woman taking in my Daughter if we had known about this upcoming 1 1/2 week vacation. Now we are both worried. My ex husband arrived home to Vermont on Tuesday night. I called him yesterday morning to discuss all of this. Now we are both worried about our Daughters care.
I guess I have to ask for God to intervene and bring forth what ever the next step will be for my Daughters care. I know I can't sit here and worry about it 24/7. Easily said than done, to not worry.
I know I must now focus on getting my own health under control. I am resting and not going to do anything I am NOT supposed to do right now. I am thrilled that I can actually do some fun things I have put off for several months.
Thank you again for everyone's continued prayers. |
