Hey everyone! As always; thank you all again for your kindness, support and patience while my brother and I have been dealing with so much.
I want to give a full disclosure of whats been going on with my family and I this month;;
I really wanted to get art progress done this month; but we've just been making constant calls, appointments, long drives. (My dad is currently in a facility 2 hours away from home)
My brother and I have been going through hell this month just trying to learn and figure out what the right path would be to take.
My dad is showing improvements every week; but he still can't walk, or talk. And with his trach, he needs special care that not many facilities seem to have.
So ive been making calls everywhere to find facilities that do trach care AND accept his insurance. I haven't had any luck;;
We also talked to lawyers and finally started a conservatorship process over both our mom and dad; just in case the worse happens we can at least try our best to protect their assets as best as we can;;; but this process will take at least 4+ months to even get approved by a Judge.
Right now; due to dads insurance running out of days on the second week of January, we are ether going to have to try to send him to another facility under another insurance. Or take care of him ourselves till his other medical insurance days reset.
It's all extremely confusing and disheartening, cause right now all we are trying to get him is just more time to heal.
Its been a lot;;; on top of all that, the holidays have been extremely hard emotionally and mentally. On top of all the stress of trying to make sure our dad health keeps improving while we make sure all his belongings and home are still there by the time he is ready to actually come home.
Due to all this; I do sadly need to have January un-paused;; so I can still pay my rent and bills while I continue to focus on making sure my dad is taken care of.
I can't thank you guys enough, because with your guys support and patience, I am able to fully focus on my family without having to worry too much about my own financial situation;; so thank you, thank you, thank you, ohmygod thank you ;;;;
I am really hoping that once we figure out what the plan is with our dads care, I should be able to fully focus on artwork once I know that he's taken care of for a long time.
But if I end up having to be a caretaker for the next two months; ill be sure to give you all a heads up on that as well;; being a caretaker wouldn't be my first rodeo since ive taken care of my mom with Huntingtons for 7 years.
But my dad never wanted us to take care of him like we had to do with her; so we're going to try our absolute best to find another facility to hopefully take care of him for a year;; we'll just have to wait and see. Ill be sure to give another update when things seem to settle down;;
Don't be afraid to send me prompts and ideas for your rewards in the meantime! I love to see and read them; and it honestly helps me out :w: thank you all again
Heres hoping better things to come in 2025
