Welcome!
Hello to all family of Jack and Marilynn Kenyon. As you all may know, Noah and I are the "chosen one's" who will be taking care of GG and Papa for about a year or so. We are officially their new neighbors and so far it has been great. HUGE thank you to Johnny for providing such a lovely home for our little family. It is truly appreciated more than you can know. Big thanks also to Carol for getting us on a schedule for GG and Papa. So here is the scoop thus far:
Amanda & Noah
Noah and I will be visiting the Kenyon's daily (usually AM/PM sometimes more) to check on meds and food. Every evening I will be checking Jack's vitals and recording them. I will get a nice little record book but for now I just have a regular old piece of paper. I will be posting these vitals daily to this blog along with any updates as far as food or meds go (missed doses, etc). Noah will be assisting Jack with showers 2x week and also walking/excersise daily in the AM. We are also willing to help with groceries, med setup, med pickup, and anything else that may be more convenient for us to do since we live so close.
Carol
Carol will be visiting Mon/Wed/Fridays and depending on doctors schedules for Jack & Marilynn this may change. Carol is in charge of medication setup, dr appts, and finances. Carol if there is anything else please let us know:)
Ann Foley
Ann has been the one to set up meal delivery 3x wk (Mon/Wed/Fri) for Jack and Marilynn. These meals come pre made and ready to heat up. They are dropped off at their doorstep in a cooler in the AM. Whoever is there first visiting in the AM will be in charge of making sure this gets inside and into the refrigerator. Ann also has access to nutritional supplements (shakes) and is ordering Jack some to keep on hand. Thank you so much Ann for setting the meals and nutrition up! It makes everyone's job that much easier.
Please let us know if anything has to change as far as these jobs go. Noah and I are ready and willing to take on what we can. We really appreciate the help from all of you because as you all know, this is not a one person (or even one family) job. It takes all of us pulling together to make it work. For those of you familiar with blogs, send your email address to a.field.m@gmail.com and I will add you to the "persons allowed to post" list so you can get on here and give your own updates/thoughts. If you are not familiar but would like to add your own info you can either just email it directly to me and I can post it or I can teach you how use blogspot. It is really pretty simple! I am very excited about this blog in hopes that it will connect us all and keep us informed of how GG and Papa are doing.
We love you all!
Love,
Noah and Amanda
