Today I went home at lunch. I was worried about DH. While I was there the home health care nurse that was requested by our primary care physician called and asked if she could come over and do an assessment. Yes. Immediately. Long story short it looks like there are programs that we might be eligible for. Meals on Wheels would be a God send because I would know that someone is checking on DH while I am at work. Anything else would be icing on the cake.
While the nurse was there should checked DH blood oxygen saturation level and it was too low. She was going to call our doctor with the news. DH may have to go on oxygen to keep up the numbers. The nurse also said that James must not drive in order to be eligible for these services. This may be the only way I can get the keys away from him. I will have to sell the 2nd car asap, too. This has been a bone of contention for several weeks and even the doctors have told him to stop driving. He still wants that adult freedom. If I can convince him it is only as long as he needs the home health care assistance, maybe he will buy into it.
September 21 is Alzheimer's Day. Please pray for all patients and caregivers.
