It was a Happy Mother’s Day at the Osborne house. We had Grandma, Grandpa, Nana, Aunt Becke, and cousin Kurt here to celebrate Mother’s Day. We held a private dedication ceremony at Seacoast Church on Saturday for Caden. The ceremony was performed by Scott Kinney and the worship music was lead by Tony Cadiz.
Caden had a great weekend after having one of his worst days of reflux ever on Friday. That was an particularly rough day on Sherry and me since we had pulled night shifts every night except Tuesday night of this past week due a shortage of nurses. We were so relieved to see Aunt Becke and Nana arrive on Friday night to relieve us for a couple of nights. I am pulling a night shift tonight since we are once again without a nurse. I will depart in a few hours for Alabama for a week of work. Sherry will relieve me shortly so that I can catch a cat nap before my 7:15 flight this morning. We do have nurses for the remainder of this week while I am gone. Sherry’s mom is staying to help Sherry through the days and evenings while I am gone.
Please continue to pray for the nursing situation. We have hired a second agency to begin supplying nurses, but they have not come through with a nurse yet. We are also still working on getting funding for the nurses through the Medicaid Waiver. We do not have any new news on that front other than to say we have contacted the governor’s office. They have responded, but we have not received word on what exactly might be done to help the Medicaid Waiver waiting list situation. The waiting list is so long that we could potentially get to a point where we don’t even need nursing care by the time we reach the top of the waiting list.
Please pray for the doctors to find answers on how to treat Caden’s swallowing and reflux problems. Caden has several appointments for tests this week with cardiology, x-ray, and ENT (Ear, Nose, & Throat). He is suppose to get some type of new swallow study done later this week.
Thank you for checking on us. There are new pictures from this past weekend. I hope you enjoy.
God Bless You!!!
