July 18, 2009 by Bill Strong
We've found doing anything outside of our home with Gwendolyn to be challenging. Her machines, the power issues, being outside of our comfort zone, having no night nurse, the change in schedule, exposure to viruses, the added stress, etc. But, we also know how much Gwendolyn enjoys getting out...
Acts of Kindness: LifeCare Solutions
July 17, 2009 by Bill Strong We'd like to thank our home healthcare provider, LifeCare Solutions, for being unbelievably proactively supportive of our cross-country RV trip with Gwendolyn.
