More caregiver reunions...

I hope everyone had a safe and restful Memorial Day. One thing I miss living in this part of Oregon that the east coast always had are parades for every holiday. I believe we have two parades, one for the start of the rodeos (I think) and the Veterans Day parade.

Bob and I saw two nurses today that took care of him while he was in Rosehaven Medical Center. I loved seeing their faces of surprise when they recognized him. When Bob was in Rosehaven, he was just learning to eat, and he still had his trach in. To see him walking brought complete joy to their faces. And, of course, Bob got all teary-eyed at their reactions.

One thing that upsets Bob when we see people that were his caregivers is that he doesn't remember any of them, so all he can do is thank them. It is a sincere thanks, but not as sincere as it would be if he knew who and what they did for him.

It can also be used in emergency situations. If available to EMTs, all of your medical and identifying information is right at their disposal.Included in this book are stroke and heart attack warning signs, caregiver lifting tips, and travel first aid tips.

Tonight was the first night for church choir practice. Bob has not missed a beat when it comes to singing. His voice is so wonderful; as most already know.

Bob walked around the yard for the first time today in sixteen months. He walked around checking out the landscape projects that need done, and he checked out the outside of the new addition.

Needless to say, Bob's walking is getting more steady each day. He just used a walking stick today.

I was told today that Zachary will need to go to a room that the school provides everyday to complete his online classes. Now, figure that one out! He needs to go to a building to work on individual online classes, not group activities, but individual online classes. We have Internet at home, and I have a Ed. D. I've taught at the collegiate level for 14 years. I think I'm qualified to supervise; don't you think?

Last night, I emailed the Superintendent of the Oregon Department of Education. I proposed to supervise and report statistics for a pilot duel program for students to take electives in school and complete classes online. Cross your fingers to see a positive answer. I added a piece on progressive learning too. Progressive learning is a concept that started right here in Oregon.

I have a gripe to vent. This time it has to deal with the educational system. Oregon is on the low end of the totem poll when it comes to putting money towards educating the kids. They do not provide enough opportunity for alternative styles of education.

During the second half of the past school year, Zachary was sick. I had to withdraw him from school. Eventually, he was able to take band in school while completing his English, Math, and Science online.

Now, I want him to continue taking electives at the school, while completing academics online. Because of how money is allocated, he cannot do both. Figure that out! I think I have a new project.

All is better on the west coast. Bob's brain is reconnecting the wires or making new connections. I try to challenge is memory a few times each day by having him remember a list of items. The funny things is is that I have to make sure I remember the items. I definitely have to sit with Bob and think hard about the items that I asked him to remember.

Remember to order your Personal Medical Information Book at www.travel-mobility.com. I wrote the book because I was tired of having to recall all of Bob's medical information a zillion times. This book allows me to have it all written down, then I can had it to the nurse who's taking his medical information.

Personal Medical Information Book...

The Personal Medical Information Book is ready for purchasing! Do you often find yourself needing to recall medications and the dosage? Do you need to recall family medical information? Is all of your medical information written down in an easily accessible place?

So often over the past year I needed all of Bob's medical information. That's why I designed this book. All of the necessary medical information is all in one small easy to grab book. I keep one for Bob and one for me in the car.

Heck, today, I had an eye appointment that asked me medical information. The book came in handy.
