We celebrated February Birthdays on Sunday February 18. Kate,Pete, Diane, Grandma, Grandpa, Dave, Helen, Brooke, Derick, Cody, and Us at 151 Amherst st where in attendance. Dinner was Ham, New potatoes (Cheesy garlic and herb), salad, vegetable, cake, and ice cream. I have attached some pictures for your enjoyment. I also took a brief video and will try it out on this site. Use the link below to view the video.
You've heard about Grandpa Vitko. We moved him into Lakeview homes on February 12th and all the reports i heard were great for that week. Then on Monday February 19 we got a call the Dad was having trouble on the weekend.
1. Had to be redirected all the time.
2. Brushes his hair with the tooth brush.
3. Demanded his medications when he did not need them
4. Touched someone in the dinning hall and would not let go
5. Could not follow direction like get dressed.
So we decided to move him into the Memory Care unit. This is a locked down facility with much more supervision. Kate, Pete, Myself, Jim, Liz, Jenny, and Sue all moved him from the 1st floor to the second floor by 6:00pm. I thought that was great. Dad has no idea the he was moved. The nurse from the insurance company came on Wednesday to evaluate him and said he was where he needed to be. Dad has a long term policy that will pay some expenses for a few years. Liz and Jenny are taking him to the doctors over the next two months. We all talked and maybe there is something physically wrong that causing his memory problems. I still have to finish cleaning the apartment and have to dispose of his car.

I have a couple things to add:
1. Chris & Megan - you bought Peter the shirt (with the tag) he has on in the last picture. You guys did good.
2. What is that little dance Peter is doing besides Helen's picture?
3. Lastly, let's not forget that we ate cake and ice cream off of Chris's Holly Hobit plates.
