New routines

We're settling into new routines, as Lynn shows his characteristic force of will and continues to be aware, awake and alive. Son Jono spends a few nights here each week and has been indispensible bringing good cheer, helping hand and energy every day; daughter Dana joins us with Meghan on the weekends, and Jess and his bride Nicole will come up from San Diego in the next few days.....they are in and out every few weeks now. The Hospice team sends a nurse 2-3/times a week to evaluate Lynn's health, and provides lots of attention, supplies, advice and help. Other Hospice visitors are also terrific - providing bathing, social work, and respite times so family can take a break (last week we were able to leave Lynn on a friday night while we went to Jono's band concert - and brought back a video to play for Lynn).

We have great support from Visiting Angels so that Deborah can manage the day to day of keeping Lynn comfortable and also get time for her to be out and about.  We have fewer visitors as Lynn seeks more quiet - but he continues to enjoy having us read emails and share internet photos and jokes. We're in search of a few magic remedies so Lynn can get his voice back, otherwise just settling in to this journey which seems to have its own timeline and pathways.

Halloween is around the corner -  here's Lynn's trick from last year. He'll likely be Spiderman this year!
