Merv Respite Ready

The suitcase is packed. The meds are ready. Merv is happy and ready to go. At least I can say that now.  Even with my printed list of what to pack it has taken all week to get everything ready.  All Merv's new clothes demanded name tags be sewn to them for identification.  Webster packs with signing sheets have been sorted, ordered and collected.  Respite fee balance has been paid.  CCRC have funded eleven days leaving us to pay the remaining three days. All paid!

Updated notes for the respite centre have been completed, printed and packed along with Merv's meds and taxi vouchers.  Merv will continue to attend the HD day centre and go ten pin bowling with his regular support worker while in respite.  I have bagged individual amounts of cash and labelled each bag with day, date and amount. There is money for the taxi, day centre fees, ten pin bowling and snacks. 

Lastly the right amount of clothes and toiletries need to be packed. All done.  It has been a mammoth task.  Dustin and other family members have arranged to visit Merv while he is in respite.  I believe everything is done.  Merv is finally ready to go.  He looks forward to seeing the regular staff and residents there.  They have accepted him as their own.
