My 85-year-old mother has fallen several times in recent weeks and, as of now, is having a difficult time with mobility. So she’s staying with my husband and me.
This is a lady who just a couple weeks ago was babysitting her 4-year-old great-granddaughter at least two days each week.
It’s been hard on her to transition from a lifelong independent woman to one who is dependent on her daughter. It’s an adjustment we’re experiencing together.
I’m a novice at navigating the somewhat complicated medical field but, thankfully, ContinCare Health Services came to the rescue and is helping my mom recover from her falls, as well as offering me guidance on how to properly care for her medical needs. Meanwhile, it is my goal to make Mother feel at home, comfortable and, most of all, loved.
And that is where the babies come in.
