New figures from the HSE show that for twelve of the previous twenty-four months, respite services were suspended at the Nursing home due to staffing deficits.

It was time for the final consultation for my spouse;s stem cell/ bone marrow transplant.   It was in personin Milwaukee requiring us to travel 2 hours for it.   We had it on our calendar for months.  It was the final step prior to Denis getting the cure he needed.    About 2 days prior I wasn't feeling the greatest and I thought it was the nerves. But the fatigue got worse and then came the fever.  I was so frustrated since I was a hand sanitizer, mask wearing, clorox wipe kinda girl.  I avoided crowds and declined guests in our home for 6 months.  I knew what I had to do. Stay isolated in the bedroom and I can't drive in the car with my spouse.   Again, I was so angry and frustrated.  I had to be there but there was no way.  So figured out a back up plan . What is your back up plan if you can't do your caregiver responsibilities?  You can't say - you don't have a plan?   There is no guarantee that you can be there all the time.  Only four in 10 caregivers would rate their health as “excellent or very good,” according to AARP's 2020 Caregiving in the U.S. survey. This is a significant drop from the 48% of caregivers who reported very good health in 2015.This self-reported poor health is backed by medical statistics — 53% of caregivers have been diagnosed with two or more chronic conditions, such as heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes. That's 14% higher than the general U.S. adult population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These chronic conditions contribute to lower caregiver life expectancy.I was brought to my knees again this past week.    I ended up with a terrible stomach flu where I couldn't be far from the bathroom and my pillow for three days.  I thought I was being so careful with managing my new stressful challenge of Mom now starting hospice care but my take on it is that I am still trying to recover from chronic stress and my body just couldn't fight a virus.  As I laid there trying to recover, I had to give into my thoughts and emotions as well as taking this as a learning lesson.  How could I caregive anyone if I am not taking care of myself first.    I needed the rest and recovery time.  Things will just have to waitWhat changes could I make to reduce illness?Shift your mindsetDo I have a back up plan?  Way too many times, I hear my clients say, there is no one else, It's me.   I just want you to take a hard look at yourself and your situation.     There may be a time where you can't and it may not even be your fault or your choice.  Find your team.  Ask for help. Reach out to a neighbor, friend or family member.  It could be as simple as, watching for a package that your parent is expected to get today.  To someone offers to pick up groceries at the store.  Take them up on it.  Grab the show notes here  ➡️ https://www.cathylvan.com/episode128Join the Caregiver Cup Circle  ❤️ https://www.cathylvan.com/caregivercircleIf you're interested in 1:1 Coaching  ➡️   DM Cathy  @cathylynnvan>>CONNECT WITH CATHY ON INSTAGRAM @cathylynnvan for daily tips and inspirationhttps://instagram.com/cathylynnvan/

Medical respite programs care for unhoused people who are not sick enough for inpatient care but are too sick to return to a shelter or the streets. Hear from our experts David Munson, MD, David Woody, PhD, Barbara DiPietro, PhD, about how these lifesaving programs improve health while protecting our healthcare system and how medical students can make an impact. This episode was moderated by Shad Yasin, medical student at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and member of the Committee on Legislation and Advocacy.

ETB 39 -  In this episode I talk with Mary Ann Hughes, mother of 2 young adults with Autism about finding quality care for loved ones with special needs.  As a single mother managing her company, Special Family Transitions, Mary Ann has had to stretch her comfort zone most recently when she sent both of her boys for the very first time to a week long summer camp. Mary Ann believes as special needs moms and parents we don't spend enough time taking care of ourselves.  She notes there is so much stress involved with having special. needs children it can take a toll on the family and sometimes the marriage.  Mary Ann encourages you to take time for yourself so you can be the best parent you can be for your kids.   To help you find quality caregivers you can trust,  Mary Ann shares an abundance of possibilities for securing respite care, some of which you may not have ever considered.   Connect with Mary Ann:Email address: Maryann@specialfamilytransitions.comWebsite: https://www.specialfamilytransitions.com/ Special Family Transitions YouTube channel (please subscribe ) https://youtube.com/channel/UChI4BaUMGf50O2yPE_YnjFASpecial Family Transitions Facebook Page:https://m.facebook.com/specialfamilytransitionsPrivate Facebook group:Divorce Journey Support for Moms of Children with Autism & Special Needs:https://www.facebook.com/groups/309739357366936/Special Family Transitions on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/specialfamilytransitions/Respite Resources:Take Time Texas https://apps.hhs.texas.gov/taketimetexas/search.cfmTexas State Information on Respite Providers or Programshttps://archrespite.org/respite-locator-service-state-information/176-texas-infoConnect with SandyIG: https://www.instagram.com/sandydeppischEmbrace the Blessing Facebook Group: http://bit.ly/ETB4MEWebsite: http://www.embracetheblessing.com/

ETB 38: In this episode I share a few stories about Josiah from the past few years when he was walking through a very long, very difficult season.  With so many challenges including aggression, destruction and self-injurious behaviors it was easy at times to lose sight of hope. As a mom desperately trying to figure out how to best help my child,  it was heartbreaking to watch him struggle so much.  There is nothing like watching someone you love suffer and feel powerless to alleviate it.  Even after all the interventions, it was discouraging to see little to no improvement. But I'm here to tell you, things drastically improved.  Despite the daunting forecast from a psychiatrist who told us Josiah would spend the rest of his life in a long-term psychiatric facility because he was too combative and self-injurious to live at home,  Josiah has become a different person.  He has made remarkable progress and continues to amaze me with his growth and abilities.Don't give up on your kids!  If you are in a difficult season and can't imagine how things could ever get better, hang in there!  Pray without ceasing, reach out to others, seek support from those who has been where you are,  get respite if you need it but don't ever give up hope!

Dr. John DeGarmo is an accomplished author, foster parent to over 60+ children throughout his time as a foster parent, and founder of the Foster Care Institute. I am certainly not an expert on the topic of foster care but John is passionate about his mission (he's coming on some podunk podcast in the hopes that maybe he will impact even just one more life!) but I enjoyed our conversation and tried to do my homework so that he could showcase his message on my show. I familiarized myself with some nomenclature that I explain in the monologue at the beginning of the episode such as respite care, CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocate) and so on. It may be helpful for you to check out John's TED X talk before listening to this episode which you can check out in the link below: WATCH HIS TEDX PRESENTATION I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to help John spread his message and if you want to help make the foster care system better in your locale, please reach out to John or someone from his team to point you in the right direction. Right at this very moment there are innumerable kids in crisis in YOUR neighborhood.

You have one minute to decideTen years ago, Alexis Ridge-Simek got a call that changed her life forever.  A newborn baby named Aria needed a home and was being released from Temple Hospital at that moment.  Would Alexia take her in as a foster child? She had one minute to decide.  Community support, Friends, FamilyAs you will hear in her story, Alexis emphasizes how important community support was for her and her family as they welcomed Aria and took on her love and care.  Alexis and her family did not stop there, though, in their support of the foster care program.  Aria had been brought to Alexis wrapped in a blanket with an over-sized onesie.  Alexis had the support of family, friends, and church to fill the immediate needs for Aria but many children who enter the foster community have nothing to bring with them to a foster home.The Fiaria Project: Kits for Kids in a New Foster Care HomeYou will hear about Alexis' adoption process, the foster care process, and how the Fiaria Project is making a difference for kids 0-18 who are helped with a kit of brand new items to take with them at this stressful moment in their lives.
