Prayer for Anthony jr		My Picture Progress

I have been doing good on the eating but the exercise is not as easy as I had to go pick up Anthony jr Monday night when the group home called me to let me know Anthonys blisters he had from the garments for lymphedema that they were supposed to watch has turned in to open wounds.  So I went and got him at 10 pm and brought him to Centra care first thing Tuesday morning...so no walking..then came home to many many phone calls..and his support coordinator filed a neglect report. So Anthony jr is home till I feel they have things in place to take care and watch him properly!! He starts wound care today...We are off now to his primary Dr as she does not work on Tuesdays.  Will try to get some walking in but for now Anthony jr is my main concern...but I will continue to eat healthy...Next week my Dad with Alzhimers is coming to spend a week with me so I can watch him while my step mom goes to England. My Dad cant make it anymore and needs 24/7 watching...so I may have another problem of  getting walking in... but there are other things I can do and I will try to do thatl Please pray for Anthony jr that all heals well and that the group home gets it together so Anthony jr can go back to it.  Thanks for your prayers.    Love and hugs, Melodie
