Gordo was doing fine in his new place until the state sent their folks for an annual inspection.
He refused to get up and walk... so … they told the owner of his new home that he could no longer live there.
See… folks … when searching for places to take care of our old folks … there are 2 types of facilities. A and B. A … can take care of anyone who can walk thru the front door in a fire (simply stated) and B facilities care for people who are unable to walk, crawl or run towards that same front door.
Well Gordo … was OK …living in an A facility when he first arrived. But after his last stint at the hospital, nursing home and moving to his new place … life took its toll. Most likely because of his UTIs … (urinary tract infections and the confusion in his new environment). Both are equally mentally devastating.
We moved him into a new place last week … owned by the same people … which is good. His favorite …prior … caregiver… goes over to see him daily.
However … he has not been eating and hates being there. Only because it is a change … too fast. In our opinion.
Yesterday ... I brought several dinners that I KNOW he likes and explained how he likes to eat them. Guess what? He ate 2 meals today!
Thank God!
Please pray for us.
