Many of you already know that my grandmother fell ill last week. I had been taking care of her for about 6 months before I moved back to Washington. When I moved back to Oklahoma in August, I started taking care of her again as her personal CNA. Grandma has Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's disease. She has also suffered a couple strokes. It has gotten to the point that grandpa was unable to care for her after I would leave. We as a family made the painful decision last week to put her in a nursing home. She seems to like it and has her own private room. Grandpa goes everyday to see her and the rest of us go about every other day. I lost my job when we put her in the nursing home. Please just pray for her and our family as well as for me. I have started subbing at Head Start and am hoping to get hired back on there full time.
