June 29 – 1048
Joyce had a good day. We went to Chapel Hill for Joyce’s throat doctor appointment. After the swallow study he said that she has not shown any improvement but she has not degraded either. So he said we can decide what frequency we want to return and have Joyce checked again. He has suggested ice chips and sipping water after every meal and when she gets water to strengthen her muscles. Joyce did not nap she was awake all the way there and all the way back she just liked watching everything that was going on.

June 27 – Day 1046

Joyce had a good day. Joyce did her exercise and when the physical therapist came for evaluation she did some additional ones and the caregiver said she did very well. The afternoon caregiver seems to be getting into her routine and she said things are getting better with the procedures. Joyce had a little coughing last night but settled down after 11 with the night caregiver I was able to get some sleep and Joyce rested well the rest of the night.

Continue to pray and send positive thoughts so that things continue to progress and that God keeps putting his loving hands on Joyce to heal her.

June 26 – Day 1045
Joyce had a good day. Have instructed caregivers with a little more detail so they are aware of there responsibilities. Joyce did well with her exercises physical therapy will becoming tomorrow for Joyce’s first session. Still looking for a weekend person. Joyce slept well through the night without any issues. Trained my night caregiver who was Joyce’s day person before so she was aware what she had to do just refreshed her about nighttime procedures.

June 25 Day 1044
Joyce had a good weekend. Did all of exercises and I new weekend caregiver come. I thought having a retired lady that would work out better. But she couldn’t transfer Joyce so in between my errands I had to come back to the house every 4 hours to take Joyce to the bathroom so the search continues. Joyce was very alert yesterday she sat up in her chair all day watching TV she really enjoyed watching Americas funniest home videos she was laughing so hard. Her night was good she slept well through the night with no issues.

June 22 – Day 1041
Joyce had a good day. she did her exercises today. the morning caregivers is doing fine but the afternoon I am not sure of. I have to set up a procedure for when the shift changes so everything is good before they walk out the door. One day she said she took Joyce to the bathroom but not even an hour later I checked her and her brief was wet. So I told the agency to get someone else because I will not tolerate it. She is very small so I don’t if she has trouble transferring Joyce or whatever the reason.

June 20 – Day 1039

Joyce had a good day. she did her exercises today. I trained the new caregivers and I think we might a good team the afternoon caregiver was kind of tiny and I was concerned about her lifting Joyce but she said she did okay struggled a little and I showed how to lift and she thinks that will help her tremendously. Joyce slept a lot during the day and slept well through the night with no issues.

June 19 – Day 1038
Joyce had a good day. she did her exercises today. Tomorrow the new caregivers will come in for training and will start hopefully we will get a good staff. Joyce was very tired slept the entire day and entire night with no issues at all. She was up all day Sunday with no naps so I figured she would sleep today.

June 14 – Day 1033

Joyce had a good day. She did her exercises and they went well. Tweaking the day caregiver so she keeps Joyce’s routine the same for her. She had a lot of congestion today so I will need to get some Tussin that usually takes care of that. Joyce had a restless night was doing a lot of coughing. One thing last night that just made me smile. When I went to give Joyce her 11 o’clock feeding she had taken her covers and was sitting straight up in her bed. When I asked her what she is doing she just smiled and squinted her face like she knew she was doing something.
