Sunday Family Pow Wow

Rebecca (feeling sunstruck) with minutes of pow wow
Family meeting on the Ashram deck to think about and plan Tashie's post-discharge care, with Rebecca as scribe (Her surprising expression is not typical, but her beauty shines through anyway).
Laurie will be coming in every morning M-F to help Tashie get up and dressed, prepare breakfast, clean up, and prep for lunch. A home health worker will be coming twice a week to do showers. Physical therapy and Occupational therapy people will be there a couple of times a week, but we don't yet know the exact schedule.She needs someone with her, or in the near environs, 24/7.
For all of you who have been eager to be involved in her care, there are several options available.
We need volunteers to help on a number of fronts:
1) Cover 24-hour shift
2) Prepare and bring supper for three or four people
3) Come in on days that OT / PT are not here, go through exercises with her
4) Grocery shopping
Odd jobs to do during 24 hr shift:
1) Fill bird feeder, etc.
2) Laundry, changing sheets, etc.
3) Turn on the tape recorder and record her stories as she tells them
Clarke and Rebecca listening . . . 
To the right is a hyperlink to a google calendar, which we will fill in as we hear from you, so that you'll know where the vacancies lie.
