MOM UPDATE

Hi

I hope you are all having a nice long weekend.

About mom...prayer does change things.

Last night I was reading my posts back to January and your comments. Your comments made me get misty eyed.  I appreciate your concern for me and mom. And your prayers.

Mom is doing a lot better than she was. Honestly, I thought back then that she would be gone soon. Now she is eating more and her attitude has changed. Also she has gained weight. She is thinking better and I think sleeping more.

I had to limit my time there. You remember I was there every day a few hours for lunch and a few hours for dinner.  And occasionally in the middle of the night when she called scared to be alone. That really left little time for me to sleep or take care of my husband let alone myself.

So now I just go there at dinner for an hour or so. She is ok with this. And we have a prayer before I go and she sleeps. Sometimes I have not been able to go one night maybe two in a row. She does ok then too. 

Her sore is better..not open anymore. But it still hurts her and she is uncomfortable but she deals with it better now. Also, finally, they got the eye doctor to see her and she is getting new glasses. Hopefully this will encourage her to get back to the things she likes...reading and working puzzles. And maybe even watching some TV. :)

On this Memorial Day may we remember our servicemen and women through the decades who gave their all for us.  Those who survived without whom we wouldn't be here. And our family members who have passed. And what we have because of them. :)

Take care my friends. God Bless you all.
