Update on Bob by Beau

  
Daddy's walker remains, and if you look  behind Daddy's feet  you can see me, Mama is behind the Chromebook typing this. This is just to let you all know we three are "Stayin Alive" and that daddy has an appointment with an orthopedic doctor Thursday the 23rd to assess what he needs to make his legs work better.  Mama has not one minute to blog/read/comment etc. She is keeping up with all three of our meds, our meals, our potty breaks, since Daddy and I require assistance with everything we do.  the question is if Mama is caring for 2 canniness or 2 humans and if  I am  human or is daddy a canine? we require the same attention from Mama...😁😁😁

Glad to see you are all keeping Mama on her toes.

Hang in there, caregiving is by most standards the most difficult and often thankless job one can have ... yet truth be told: it is the one that in the long run offers the most rewards and blessings. You will survive these days, these nights and know that giving of yourself to others is the greatest gift of all.

thank you, Beau, for the update. I've been wondering where you and your Mama were, and now I know. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers, and especially pray that your Mama has renewed strength day by day as she has much to take care of and she has her own "issues" to be concerned about as well. Please tell her that we all love her and you too, and we will be praying. I hope you have a blessed Easter. Sending (((HUGS))) and love.

Thanks for the update Beau. Keep an eye on your mom and make sure she takes some time to take care of herself too.

Sounds like Mama needs some "people"...lolol
I always tell Larry, when I have too much on my plate that I need some "people" to help with all I have to do... Take care you don't "run outta gas" dear lady! Give scratches to Beau...I don't think Daddy would appreciate scratches from a stranger...lolol
Sweet Easter dear lady!
hugs
Donna

You're doing so well for dad and Beau. Bless you for all your hard work. It's not easy. Not easy at all.

Have a fabulous weekend, my friend. A hug to you and lots of scritches to Handsome Beau. ♥

Thanks for the update. Hope that the doc can come up with something to help Bob which will in turn make things a little bit easier for you as well! ♥

I was just talking about growing older and aging this morning with Rick. It is a blessing and a curse. I remember when Andy was a baby I watched him by day and my mom by night. It was the hardest two years of my life. I still have PTSD from it, but I do miss those days too. So sorry that you are going through this.

Aww friend my prayers go out to you. Please take care of yourself too. Praying for a good outcome for Bob's appointment.
Praying for the Peace of God to fill all of you.
Love

I can understand how difficult and trying and tiring it all must be. And with all the weather issues the stress did not help. Hugs

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Yes, Mama is definitely extremely busy now with both of you. I will be praying that the orthopedic doctor will have a solution for Daddy.

Ginny Hartzler said...

Wish I could do more than pray. At least I could cook if I was there. I know everyone will be so glad and relieved to see this update!

CheerfulMonk said...

Thank you for the update. Prayers that the doctor can help give you all relief.

Susan Kane said...

Mama must be very tired at the end of the day! My husband had prostrate problems then surgery. I was the caregiver for 3 months. It is exhausting to be that person. Take care of yourself, lady.

Shug said...

I have missed you. I know how busy you must be and as we get older, it is difficult enough to take care of ourselves (for me anyways) and then to need to be a caretaker as well, really keep you running. Prayers for you and and Bob and Beau...Happy Easter

We all send love and hugs to your wonderful Mama. She sure has her paws full.

Thank you so much for updating us, your fan club! Like Ginny, I wish there was more I could do besides pray. We love you.

Tigger's Mum said...

Even of there is little that can be done for Daddy's walking I hope the appointment results is some help for de Mama. I don't know how stuff works where you are bur if help is available in the form of health visitors it is not just for the declining person but also for the emotional and physical health of the carer. Tell Mama to look after herself too - she needs to be strong and resilient now.

Thanks Beau for the update. It must be hard for your mama to do all the household chores as well as caring for you and your daddy. Give them a sloppy kiss from me.

Hello Beau :) Tell your mama thank you for taking the time to send us the update. I hope your daddy's appointment with the orthopaedic doctor helps his legs to work better.
Sending hugs to your mama and cuddles for you. Keep an eye on Mama too. We don't want anything to happen to our lovely friend.

I think you're part pup, part human for sure.

Y'all are keeping your Mama on her toes. At least you haven't missed us while we were MIA. Mommy's 'puter broke and she was without one for a long Easter weekend. Daddy got her a good, used one, and she's lovin' it. Hey, wait, isn't that a burger chain slogan? *drool* Beau, hope the doc can help your Daddy. XOX Xena and my pack
