who’s going to save you?

yesterday evening after doing my house chores and other work, I once again joined my husband to spend the night over at my father in law’s home. my almost 84 years old father in law (tom jan. 4 is his birthday) is still bed ridden and has only water to drink. i tried spoon feeding with  chicken soup but after the 3rd spoon he motioned for me to stop giving him further. he’s having bad moments as well especially early in the afternoon when he starts to yell and became a bit aggressive which was scary because we’re afraid he’ll hurt his fragile self. we couldn’t control him and he wouldn’t stop that we called up the hospital to send a nurse on duty for assistance as both husband and i are emotionally too close to help out and also not fully trained for this. also i see that it’s really taking a heavy toll on my husband who barely slept the last 2 days.

doctors have prescribed so many medicine for the old man that since he started taking them, his condition suddenly changed into worse dramatically. Read more…

charlie on watching animal planet

They say television is bad for children. Most programs are ‘garbage’ and full of violence, to which I must agree. However it’s different with Charlie our pug. Watching shows with animals especially dogs in it is his favorite. And of course we allow him to watch tv, I am not kidding. This dog loves watching tv. When he sees dogs he’ll jump up and tries to touch the screen, sometimes he’ll whine and bark back. When he sees balls or anything round, he wants to ‘run after’ them.

I guess my husband and I are softies when it comes to Charlie. We would let him have his channel even though we’re dying to see ours. Probably it’s time to get him his own screen huh? Gotta check some Rackmount monitors for him.

It wasn’t a happy new year.

My husband brought me home at around 11am this morning. We came back from my father-in-law’s place where we spent the night in his living room. You see we had a very frightening day yesterday ( the most, days before that were equally awful but yesterday was the worse.) I am not going to elaborate it but my FIL’s condition is taking a dive in a very fast motion. It hurts to see him in such condition and it hurts too to see what’s its doing to my husband.

I really really hate health (un)care system in Holland!! ‘Doctors are on vacation” and ” there’s nothing we can do because it’s still holiday and everything is close” . Answers we got from numerous calls we’ve made seeking help from the ’system’ for my FIL.

All we wish for is for my FIL to suffer no pain, but we’re not getting our wish. Please include him in your prayers? Thank you from my family.

Ok, I’m out of here. We’ll be spending the night again over at my FIL’s.

Travel tip

It’ s the start of another year and that means more traveling to the USA for my husband awaits him.
Starting a new business sometimes can be nerve-wracking but of course any new business owner would
say it brings excitement and new hope too. Business can be locally or overseas established. My family is one of those who chose to establish a business overseas. My husband is also gearing me up for some travel plans as well like I said, this is a family business so I need to do my part. Traveling is among that.
Few states need to be visited, New York is one state on the list. I for one isn’t fond of traveling due to motion sickness but luckily these days, everything is made easy by transport companies as more and more people travel everyday. It doesn’t matter where people are coming from or going to, there is always options to choose from.

Goairlinkshuttle.com offers offers both air and land transportation links. LaGuardia Airport transportation is one great link that any traveler should check if landing in New York. Goairlinkshuttle.com offers affordable, on time and safe ground transportation services throughout New York City and the surrounding suburbs. They’re just a phone away for booking according to their site which I surely would use, I plan on making my travel and my husband’s easy and safe.
