A Better Day

-

I went home to Pocatello to help Shayla and Colton (daughter and son-in-law). They were packing to go to Omaha Nebraska for PA school. When I returned to the hospital, Cornell was at lunch and he had eaten most of his food. He was sitting up and more talkative than before I left. Lunch was followed by physical therapy. Cornell worked. It gave me hope. The therapist was encouraged. He's been awake more today. I think the adjustments in his medicine has helped. He received more fluids too, but I can't help but wonder if someone out there is praying. Many have said that they have been praying. Cheris told me that our little Suzy has been praying that Grandpa will behave. So, thank you!! Prayers have power and are always answered. You have to be watching to see the answers. Here is a link to a song that had an impact on Cornell back when the first Melanoma was being treated.

The link was soon passed along to extended family and then to friends, associates, classmates, mission and ward family and more. After Cornell's passing there wasn't much to say and to tell the truth, I didn't have the heart to return here.  But we just passed the 6 month mark since his passing and last Monday, March 6th, was Cornell's 62 birthday, kind of miles stones. I doubt anyone still comes here, but it seemed like a good place to honor his memory.  For his birthday, the kids, their spouses and grandkids and Cornell's brother Louis (in our various locations) ordered Chinese food or pizza and had cheesecake for dessert. Cornell's favorites. Then we had a Zoom meeting and played a game.  The game went like this, on "Go" we wrote down all of the Cornell quotes we could think of. After 3 minutes we stopped and put dow...

Holding Pattern

It looks like there is no room in any care facilities in Pocatello, so we are putting off going home for another day while we work on a plan B, which might actually be yesterday's plan A. The lack of room is about a staffing shortage.  If I get to talk with the case manager before the end of the work day, I might learn more and then I'll add to this post.
