A few hours ago, the nursing agency called to inform us that the night nurse scheduled was sick and they wouldn't have a replacement. Dad went on for a few minutes on "how can nurses be sick so often," but thankfully not long. The rounds of calling went on with me getting one of my other assistants to cover until 2:00am.
The original plan was to have Grandma VM come in after that, but dad said no. Late supper then had mom and dad discussing who would get up when. What may be a bad idea, dad firmly decided he would get up at 2:00, for all day.
Not being able to help yourself, or breathe independently, requires help from others. Like it or not, there isn't anything you can do to change it. Nights like these are hard, but best to remember Jeremiah 29:11, and to ask for this burden to be taken as well.
