2 Years and Counting...



Time flies when you are having fun?!?!? Has it been fun though? I guess some parts have been fun...others I could have done away with!

Today is 2 years to the day that Mom woke up to Dad having his Seizures, today is 2 years since our world changed forever, today is 2 years since I thought my time with my Dad was up, today is 2 years!!

Dad is doing AMAZING by the way...Mom and I were discussing how he is actually looking younger! His hair has grown back thicker and it is no longer grey. He doesn't even have grey in his eyebrows anymore. I went to the movies yesterday here in Winkler and the guy sold me a Seniors Ticket (I'm only 45, so what if my hair is grey)...Dad would probably have to prove he is a Senior with how good he looks!


He of course still has his rough days and his memory may not be as good as it once was...but hey the man has been fighting a Brain BEAST for 2 years, give him some slack! We now just wait for the next MRI to see where this journey takes us next. I pray that the BEAST has moved on.

We have camped the last 2 weekends at our happy place so it has been great spending time with Mom and Dad.

There are so many other people in our lives that are going through worse trials then us at that moment so please also keep them in your prayers. One in particular is one of my managers, 1 year old daughter has just started her cancer journey, please pray for God's healing hands on this little one. It has been hard to watch my Dad go through this...I can't imagine being 1 year old and enduring all the poking and prodding that goes along with it, let alone trying to explain to her what is going on. So please keep little Letty in your prayers.

That is the update for now! Thanks again for following along! Happy 2 Year Anniversary Dad!

Today we are celebrating my Husbands 47th Birthday...it got cut short 2 years ago...so this evening will be all about him! Happy Birthday David, I love you!!

Palliative Care

Hello All! It is with a heavy heart that I update the blog with the news that Dad had a seizure on Saturday and he is now in Palliative Care at Minnedosa Hospital! Mom had made arrangements for Occupational Therapy to come to the house today to assess what was needed to help her care for him, but the good Lord took care of that and now he is in hospital. I know they both wanted to keep him home as long as possible…so I guess we know what the definition of “long as possible” is now! He remains very calm and is in no pain which we are very thankful for. Please keep our family in your prayers as we travel through this new journey! As Jason said to his friend on the phone this evening… “We now hurry up and wait, it’s not if, it’s when”. Love Shannon for The Neufeld Family!!

“Daddy I am Here”

Image
So many thoughts going thru my mind as I sit here listening to Dad breathe beside me. There was no reaction when I came in his room this evening after being gone for a week, he didn’t squeeze my hand and he didn’t give me a kiss…but I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. I talk to him like I talk to Jesus while I pray. I don’t get an audible response but I continue to tell him about my week of District Governor training, I tell him I am here safely, I tell him it’s ok to go home to Heaven. I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. Mom went home when I got here, she needs to rest. It was hard for her to go but Dad knows she loves him and I know he is a peace with her taking the rest she needs. I tell him every hour how much we all love him. I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. Jason is on his way to the hospital. Says he won’t stay the night, just wants to come to see his Dad. This is so hard on all of us, but we will get thru as a family unit. Our patriarch is going be
