Short status report

 Mom

Mom's heart Cath procedure went well.  There was no blockage in her heart and we were in and out of outpatient within 7 hours.  She recovered well at home and is feeling better each day.  It does appear that the new pacemaker is making the needed improvements in her heart.  She is scheduled for a echocardiogram (I think that's the one) in April that will indicate if it has helped her heart recover it's function.  I am hopeful. There are various body quirks that come with being 86 but overall mom seems to be doing much better and on the verge of regaining energy and resuming her active life.

Peter

This week he is reaching out to me.  Because he is coming down to the end of his rent money and not getting the job he wants, he is asking for "my support."  Exactly what that help is fluctuated yesterday between moving back in and money for a car so he can take his "dream job." In his desperation his mind is whirling and as are his plans and conversation.  I spent a couple of hours with him yesterday evening and his plans and topics of conversation went back and forth and all over.

I am really no where closer to knowing what to do next.  I don't want him to live with me (remember he has no room) nor does he want that either.  However helping him (whatever that looks like) might be the leverage to get him to try medication again which is what I believe he really needs to be able to function somewhat independently. He may or may not be willing if a carrot is dangled.  However my carrot patch is a bit spars. Anyway bottom line is please continue to pray for: wisdom for me and my mom regarding our responses to him, that he would have some clarity to make needed decisions, resources and options for him and for me to know what "I am to do next."  

As always thank you for praying for us .  It is appreciated greatly!
