My FIL went into the ER today - he's been having some mini-strokes. Par for course for him he's pretty frail but made a really great rally in the Spring - I thought nesting by all the projects he was doing. He went from bed ridden and a hoyer lift last Winter to being able to get himself out of bed and tool around on his wheel chair for hours. I suspect he's been under a great deal of stress because my MIL recently got a couple more co-morbidities with her CHF. She was the one who went shuffle shopping and brake checking people. (long story) MIL is in late stage CHF with swollen feet, extended belly, edema blisters but her mind is sharp as a tack. She's pretty much just able to shuffle off to the bathroom, and plop into her recliner. I'm thinking we're looking at short term care at best for both of them should a stiff breeze blow through their home.
I went through this 20 years ago with my folks, it's hard. Today my wife was uncharacteristically depressed, out of the blue, started crying. She never does that. It was right around the time he went to the ER.
Anyways, prayers if you could, for my FIL and MIL and my wife. Much thanks.
