Joe (Dad) called yesterday to wish me a happy birthday and tell me about a early birthday gift for himself...
Turns out that at MD Anderson they have hideaway beds right in the patients rooms so that the caregivers can stay with them. So for a inexpensive $12 a night Dad can stay with Lana even in isolation (but not in the ICU). This is because he is her primary caregiver (although if he gets the sniffles he's outta there!) That $12 in addition to $10 in good cheap cafeteria food and he's still saving money over driving back and forth or staying with their friend's daughter 20 miles away.
This will make everyday living much easier on both of them. Lana is bed-ridden at this point and unable to work on her crafts, answer the phone, etc. Not a fun time to say the least. But her health does seem to be slowly improving.
We'll keep you all posted on her progress. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes.
