Homecoming

Yesterday medical equipment was delivered to Jim's condo, making it possible for him to leave Christopher House and return home! Austin Hospice will still be in charge of his care. They will send a hospice nurse to check on him about once or twice a week, and a nurse's aid will visit several other times per week. Jim's parents are also living in the condo to care for him. Since visits will occur in the home, it is important that both Jim and his parents know who is coming. For this reason, as well as the fact that several out of town friends are soon arriving in Austin, the Care Calendar visits are suspended for about a week.

The love in the extended "Ingman Family" is amazing!

Care Calendar Update

Please check the Care Calendar (carecalendar.org) for more specific visitation windows as well as childcare/meal needs for other family members. Much gratitude to all.

Purpose

I am setting up and maintaining this blog to provide information as Jim's medical proxy. Jim has entrusted me to make medical decisions on his behalf as well as be a point person in his hospice care. This page will allow Jim's support system to have accurate information about his illness in a timely manner.

To help Jim's family, please visit www.carecalendar.org where you can sign up for visits or see what needs to be done to take care of everyone.

To post comments, memories, and have conversations, please join Jim's Facebook group called "Jim's Happy Hour Crew."
