Life’s Challenges

I wrote last week in my Update on Life post that I expected my Mom and Dad to be home soon. It doesn’t look like it is going to work out that way. My Mom was discharged from the hospital last week, however, my Dad is a bit more serious. They did a CT scan on his heart last week and found a tumor in his lungs. Unfortunately, it looks like it has spread to his hips and possibly his stomach as well.

Needless to say, the prognosis is not good. I came home on Monday because I have things that need to be done here on the farm but I expect that I will be headed back that way in the next week or two. It is going to be challenging to balance R’s medical appointments here and my parent’s needs 7 hours away.

My plan at the moment is to spend as much time there as I can so I believe I will be commuting back and forth. I will go down one day, stay for two days and drive back on the forth. Hopefully, I can do this on a weekly basis which will give me time here to take care of things and then time to pick up some of the slack at my parents.
