We visited Mom is shifts today since visiting hours are
longer on the weekends. Dad was there around lunch time. Mom is
still unbuttoning his shirt (Yes, in front of her roommate and the nurses,
she's gotten naughty).
Paul went later on in the afternoon and had a nice visit,
telling Mom stories and making her laugh. Mike and I were there for dinner.
Mom ate heartily and pushed away the tray when she was done. I brought
her some more clothes that met her approval and some newspapers from the lake
that she looked through after dinner. She opened some more cards that
made her laugh, smile and roll her eyes, thanks so much for those! After
about an hour, she patted my arm and pointed to the door. It was like she
was saying, “I’ve entertained you enough and now I'm tired, get
going." We gave her loves and kisses and left her watching TV with her
delightful roommate.
Another good day where her window seemed to be open (a term
the social worker used...sometimes the window is opened and sometimes it's
closed, in terms of her understanding and with-it-ness). Thanks for your
good wishes and prayers...what a blessing to have so many caring people in our
lives.
