Christmas is here. Dad is in the hospital still. Daughter's wish of having him home didn't come true. I wish I couldv'e brought him home, but I knew the road would be long.
We're still in the process of looking for a long term facility for Dad. Many places only have scheduled tours. Because of the holidays the tours are cancelled. It won't be until next week or the week after that I can visit the one place I think Dad would be best suited for. Mom absolutley refuses the two that we visited. But they are the only ones nearby that have availability. It is difficult seeing Dad in that kind of environment. We are looking at these places as a form of rehabilitation and care, with the intention of bringing him home. The patience there are waiting. This is their home. Mom doesn't want Dad there because she wants him home.
Mom didn't want to celebrate Christmas. It's too hard for her. She didn't want to come with me for Christmas, but at least I made her go see her Mother and sister for Christmas dinner. Many tears Christmas day. She's having it tough.
Brother is having a few family over for dinner tonight. Family from out of town. He didn't invite Mom. He didn't bring the grandkids over to see her. I don't think he realizes what they can do for her, lift her spirits. Or perhaps he does and that's why he's not bringing them over.
Merry Christmas.
