Well, Dad was finally moved into a nursing home facility today. We are glad that he will get the physical therapy he needs, but we are worried about the Alzheimer's. We feel that the seizures made it much worse, but only time will tell.
We spent a little bit of time with him today, but he just wasn't himself. It was very sad for me to see him like that. I also just received a phone call from the home. Apparently Dad got up out of his wheel chair and fell down. He hasn't even been there 24 hours and already they're calling to tell me he fell. PLEASE pray for his safety while he's there. I realize they can't watch him 24/7, but it seems as if the alarms on the chair aren't enough. By the time the alarm rings to tell the nurses that my Dad is standing up, he's losing balance and is on the floor. They can't get to him on time.
Is it wrong to ask the Lord for Him to call my Dad home? Is it wrong to think that the best thing for him would be to die? My Dad is a wonderful Christian man who loves the Lord dearly. We know where he's going when he dies. I don't want him to die...but I want the absolute best for him, and maybe that is what's best. Seeing him in a home unable to do anything for himself is just so heart-breaking to me.
Please just pray with me - that the Lord will take him home to glory at the right time, and that in the mean time, Dad will be well cared for and will be at peace with his situation.
Thank you for praying!!!!
