Our oldest son flies back to South Korea early tomorrow morning. It's been so great having him home, and having all of our kids and grandkids here at the same time last week. I hate that he's going back over there, and really hope he comes back to the states at the end of this 12 month contract.
My BIL continues to lose ground, hospice brought the bed this week for him. He is still considered "stable" but he is taking very little nourishment now, maybe 1 Ensure a day, and his pain med needs are increasing. He was down to 150 pounds as of August 10th, which was about 20 pounds down in 2 weeks. I've been making calls about setting up a "after funeral lunch" which is just so much fun. I told their oldest daughter I would take care of it. We've not been there to see him since July 30th, they live 30 minutes from us, and they are trying to keep traffic in the house at a minimum. Plus I think my sister has more trouble keeping it together when people are there. They live in a dicey area also, and have limited parking for visitors.
