Abby is a survivor. The new kittens have changed the dynamic of the cat-house but she is holding her own.

Nurit’s Mom has been a real trooper all year through the issues of Jacks health, the nursing homes and finally at home with the caregivers.

Health and Care

Nurit’s Mom and Dad both had health issues in 2009 so we spent a lot of time learning about antibiotic resistant staph infections (MRSA), Medicare and the Kaiser Health System. After three operations and several false alarms by the end of the year Nurit’s Dad, is stable and actively managing his life although he will never walk again. Special thanks to all of the caregivers. I’ve written a lot about aging this year and you can see some of the aging posts here.

Animal House

In 2009 we doubled the number of pets at home. Missy and Abby were joined by Rebecca’s cats Evelyn and Belle. The new dynamics are interesting. This picture is of Belle.
