So I'm noticing some changes in my dad.  He seems more tired all the time. He sometimes seems like it is hard for him to keep his eyes open and often he has one eye open and one eye closed. He doesn't talk as much and he sometimes doesn't answer questions. He seems to be having a harder time swallowing food and he takes forever to eat. None of this stuff is really new, but it seems to be happening more often. It used to be that he would have a bad day and then the next day he would be fine and all perky and his usual self. Now it's starting to seem like the bad days are outnumbering the good. I am worried about him.

On a lighter note, dad's new caregiver is awesome and both Mom and Dad just love him. His name is Efrim. He is 27 from Somalia. He has a long history and has experienced more in his 27 years than most people will in their whole lives. He came to this country to study and wants to become a pharmacist. He and Dad have hit it off royally. Dad crys when he talks about him he loves him so much :) Efrim has been taking Dad on lots of walks and making sure he gets out in the sunshine (when we have it) I look forward to getting to know him better.

Mom is doing well in her new job at Safeway. She is so excited about it. She says she's doing great in training but every time she makes a mistake she says "shit!"  Her first shift on her own is this week and she said the thing she's most nervous about is if she's going to be able to not swear :) good luck mom ;)

Mom and Dad had a great visit with the Clows who came for a couple days from California. They all came to my house for dinner the first night. I really enjoyed seeing them as well. Here are a couple pics from our fun night.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun today!!
Love, Angie
