Downward Progression

Friday the jail break, Monday an increase in medication, Tuesday tours of two long term care facilities and his name on waiting list. Tuesday afternoon he escaped from the bus on a major road but was caught before he got hurt.

I have spent months and months wondering when I would need long term care. Every New Year I reflect on the past one and wonder if “this is the year”. 2022 is the year. I have procrastinated. I haven’t wanted to explore long term care. I fear for his adjustment and I question mine. I have no idea how this will work financially.

I have prayed and prayed for God to guide me on this journey. It all of a sudden progressed very quickly. Now I need him to be in a place that he is safe and I don’t spend everyday wondering how he is going to attempt his escape.
