The March Madness of 2020

Last Thursday we got the news that Mom's rehab center was prohibiting all visitors (no exceptions) as of Friday at 5pm. No indication of how long the lockdown will last.

Mom lives for her family, so we have run the gamut of what to do.

Should we bring her home? We almost did so on Friday, then changed it to this morning at 9am. Then we re-thought that because we need outside help in order to provide the extent of care she needs. Today we talked with a couple different agencies that provide in-home care. We still have lots to think/talk about, paperwork to complete, and information to gather.

Should we just ride this out and communicate with her via telephone and the occasional Zoom meeting? She needs the center's staff to assist her with both of those options. (In case you're wondering about talking with her through her window, the lockdown guidelines prohibit even that.)

These are trying times.... These are CRAZY times! Coronavirus (or whatever the new name for it is) has really wreaked havoc. I feel like we are living in an alternate universe.

Please continue to pray for Mom and for the entire family. God is sovereign!
