<div dir="ltr">I saw Wilma twice today, in the morning, and as she was headed for the exit, looking very good. She is home, in good hands with Bruce, with additional help from Bruce's daughter. As Bruce was ready to take her home, he told me his daughter has a pot of soup for them. Home Health nursing will come tomorrow. I'll be able to make some meals for them, but cannot be the coordinator. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 5:13 PM, Lindsay Shields <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:macdirec@mcn.org" target="_blank">macdirec@mcn.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I went yesterday, she's doing better each day and is just adorable in her<br>

Because everyone has a lot going on, I suggest that we have a Coordinator<br>
for a week at a time. Ideally the coordinator would visit Wilma every<br>
morning, discuss any plans for the day, see what's needed (specific help or<br>
action, cleaning up dishes, etc.) and then organize it. The coordinator<br>
would make another visit in the late afternoon to help organize for supper<br>
and the evening.<br>
<br>
If folks want to bring food, they could check with the week's Coordinator to<br>
see what day would be best.<br>
<br>
Our schedule would allow Sandy and me could be the coordinators for the<br>
second week (Saturday 9/13 through Friday 9/19) if you want to try this<br>
plan.<br>
