I am amazed how attached I am getting to my patients. We have a gentleman who was at a nursing home. He started "acting out" by hitting facility workers. So he was sent to a Geriatric Psychiatric inpatient hospital. He returned back to the nursing home and started acting out again. So the facility wanted to transfer him. So they found another nursing home that would accept him. But the other facility was not informed that this patient "acts out" by being aggressive. I saw the patient yesterday and he was fine. He was so nice, sweet and cute. Just like he has always been. Well today he hit his sister three times. My heart goes out to this man and his family. The patient's diagnosis for hospice is dementia. So we will see how this all works out. I think he has never acted out toward me because I don't make him get up or poke at him like the home health aids and nurses do to check him.

Thank you so much to continue to pray for us. It means so much to me! I know that I have so much to be thankful for, and I am, but I am having some rough times right now. Jason and I are enjoying the time we are having without the kids. It is very quiet around the house. I do miss them though.
Love you lots!
