The Dad Update

April 2010 I went to visit Dad in the hospital in Salmon Arm, B.C. He had a bad attack of gout and was unable to walk . After discussions with his doctors, the hospital liaison co-ordinator, his friend Irene, and community care workers, Dad had a decision to make - to stay in Salmon Arm in "assisted living" or come home with me to decide what to do next. He decided to come home with me.

I have created this blog mainly to keep my family updated, but now and then my friends may want to check in to see how life is "living with Mac!".

This blog will note how it is living with an 83 year old father. It will note the funny, the sad, and anything else in particular that may happen with "living with Mac"!

December 8, 2010 - Cougars Hockey Game & Brian

Just wanted to let you know, Brian took Dad to a Prince George Cougars hockey game last night.  I don't think Dad has ever been to a hockey game!  Anyway, they both had a good time even though the Cougars lost.

Brian has been so great with Dad - taking him for blood tests, taking him to doctor appointments, picking him up at Rainbow, making his breakfast every morning, going home at lunch (3 days a week) to make lunch for Dad and to check on him, taking him shopping, taking him for hair cuts, and playing crib with him!!  And I am sure there is more he has done that I have not listed.  Dad and I do appreciate Brian very much!!  Thanks, Brian!
