Sunday, July 15th – Day +55

Hi Everyone,

I talked to Mike today on the phone.  He sounds tired but had done his exercises once already and done some laps.  I told him to try and do them one more time today.  He is struggling (we think) with a urinary tract infection.  I suggested cranberry juice.  We talked to someone at the clinic on Friday and he is on an antibiotic.  We’ll talk to the PA again on Tuesday.  He says that he is up using the bathroom during the night and then he is too tired during the day. Unfortunately, Mike needs to be able to take care of himself during the day especially when he is on his own with Mom.  I am trying to be encouraging him to do whatever he can do for himself so that he doesn’t wear Mom out.  He doesn’t do any showers when Sue or I are not there.  But he can help get his lunch and such and take his meds and do his blood sugar.  He does get a little out of sorts and I think it is because of the amount of meds he is on.  We need to keep him on track so he doesn’t miss his meds.  All the days turn into one if you know what I mean! 

I’ll be heading there tomorrow and I think Aaron will be going with me.  Keep up the prayers.

love, Ann
