Care Calendar set up

I have set up a Care Calendar for providing meals to the LaFiore family.

Go to http://www.carecalendar.org/.
Log In - 15940
Security Code - 3163.

Click on the day you want to provide a meal and fill in the information.

For now, we don't need to go in and visit with them when we deliver the meals. Stacey still needs to rest and visits may tire her out. Just take them to the door and leave it there. Michael said we could come through the garage if it was open; otherwise go to the front door.

There address is 2908 Trawick Rd. Go past the church and take a right onto Trawick. It is about 1/2 mile on right- dark red brick that sits way off road down a dirt drive.

Just a note - Anna is a picky eater. She likes turkey sandwiches and chicken fingers mostly. I think I will get some turkey meat and bread so that they have something she will eat in case she doesn't like the meal that is provided. Stacey is a diabetic, so we should definately limit the sweets.

Stacey's Home!

Michael just called and said that they just got home from the hospital. We will co-ordinate meals for this week. I am taking something for this week. He did say that she didn't need alot of visitors so we will just take the food to the door and leave for now. I will let you all know about meals later today or tommorrow.

Thursday Update

I spoke to Stacey's mom this afternoon. She said other than being slightly sick to her stomach, Stacey was doing well. Her blood pressure, etc was good and no seizures. They plan to keep her in CCU until Saturday. I am working on planning meals for them when they get to come home. I have found an online calendar that we can use and everyone can just log into it and see what the needs are and sign up online. I should have it set up in the next couple of days. I feel like there will be several outside our class... possibly outside our church who will want to help as well, so this calendar should help co-ordinate it all.

Sugery Progress... Updated

Talked to Stacey's mom around 11 am. Surgery went fine. They were getting her set up in CCU, where she will spend the next couple of days. Pray that she will not be nauseated. She was really dreading the nausea after waking up.

Earlier today....Just spoke to Stacey's sister, she is still in surgery. They have repaired the hole and are putting in a drainage tube now. She will spend the next couple of days in CCU. Keep praying.

Stacey' Surgery

Talked with Stacey's sister and surgery is supposed to be around 7:15 am on Wednesday morning.

Talked to Stacey

I talked to Stacey tonight. She sounded tired but said everything was ok. She said she is about to go stir crazy. Michael was gone to Anna's ballgame and a friend was with her, so I didn't bug her about lots of details or keep her on the phone long. Surgery is still scheduled for Wednesday and she is ready for it to get here.
