This is Jane Garmyn responding for Mel’s text on Tuesday Jan 6: First of all thank you for reaching out and for your support Here is where we are currently at. Ted came home today and we are currently getting him settled in. Lots of planning appointments for this week. Will keep you posted. Food train would be helpful. We are thinking maybe 2x a week for now, serving 2-4 people - nothing spicy, or spice on the side - no olives Like most foods Like veggies and salads Like pasta Like Mexican, Mediterranean, fish, meat and potatoes Drinks: Rootbeer, coke, Diet Coke, ginger ale Texting is ok, maybe hold off on phone calls for now. Know that a text may or may not get a response, nothing personal just busy. Visiting/sitting with Ted will be welcome. We will know more after next week. We will have more of an established care schedule at that time. As far as house cleaner, errands, groceries etc, yes will also be helpful. Will have a better idea once they get a schedule.
