I am a blessed and thankful Christian. I love doing random acts of kindness blessing others to make their day brighter.

    Bathed, washed and cut hair. shaved him, brushed teeth, kept hospital bed and medical equipment cleaned and sanitized. Administered Percussion Vest, Nebulizer & Bi-Pap breathing treatments, managed prescriptions, cleaned up and changed patient and bed from urinary, bowel, or vomit accidents. Helped dad from hospital bed to walker and stood guard as he walked to family room to play cards, board and dice games or watch TV, or to dining room to eat. On days he was weaker helped him in and out of hospital bed to and from the wheelchair. Days he was too sick to get out of hospital bed I prepared his meals bringing a tray to his hospital bed table. Near the end of his life spoon fed him. Held his hand, prayed and talked with him daily. Took dad to all of his doctor, specialist, lab appointments, surgeries and hospital stays and stayed with him through all of it. Any other duties as needed to give him the best care and quality of life I could to the best of my ability.
