It is done...Dr. Mathwich was here yesterday and thought Kris was doing alot better with the new med but was still concerned with his overall health and safety.  He has fallen or stumbled at least once each day for the last several days, yesterday he fell against the hearth and hurt his back pretty bad (no cuts or anything); so doctor felt he really needed a more settled environment, no new people coming in and out, more room to walk, more familiar faces and a safe place.  As he said, Kris has been in 8 different places over the last two months,,, it is too much change for him and bringing in strangers as home care givers would be just as bad.  He felt that Aspen House was still the best place for Kris at this time as he was familiar with everyone; he didn't think there were many places other than maybe in Denver that would accept Kris with the agitation, falling, etc.   He was kind enough to make arrangements with Aspen House (contingent upon what they wanted from me :| - and vice versa), so they accepted Kris.  I took him there this morning around 10:00.  He was happy to see all his old friends and they were happy to see him.. until he realized what was happening.  The last thing he said to me was "did you do this?".... and so now the decision has been made, his life is forever changed because I was not strong enough to care for him myself.

I know we are being held, but it doesn't take away what I am feeling, what Kris is feeling... we are now both ultimately alone.  I HATE THIS DISEASE and what it has done to us.   Please continue to pray for Kris' well-being, safe keeping and peace.
