Martha

Mom's friend Martha called this morning and said she was coming up to see Mom and stay. It is nice to have someone, I kind of get lonely. We visited, I gave her a tour of the hospitality house and got her signed in, we visited more, went to eat and to walmart. Glad I have room for someone to stay with me. Tomorrow I am going home for the night to handle bills and business and love on the dogs, maybe Jeff if he is lucky, but going to love on Zach and Luca too!! I will be back on Thursday. So it will be nice that Martha is here while I am away.

I don't want to say it was an uneventful day because every day she is improving and getting her chest muscles stronger. Still doing great on just the oxygen and having many daily breathing treatments.

Cardiologist checked her again today and said he was happy. I got to like the man, he was wearing purple today :O) Wound care nurse said her belly is looking good. She was sitting up this evening when we had to leave.

I think she might of been glad to see someone other than me. I was telling her something this evening and she was looking at Martha and she winked at her. Yes, she did! I have a witness. Actually she was wide awake and interacting alot with Martha and me. Even her nurse said she had not seen her so engaged as tonight. Of course she is usually sleeping in the evening.

She wanted to take a paper away from an aide today. So I got up and got her a piece of paper. She held it, then laid it down. I showed her some things I drew in the notebook, she looked. I drew her a tree, showed it to her and asked her if she knew what it was. She took to notebook and laid it on her lap. Then I tried to give her the notebook and pen and asked her if she could draw something. She took the notebook and quickly laid it on her lap, gave me the eyeroll and shut her eyes and I believe ignored me. Nice to see my real Mom is still there. She looked at her pictures today and watched Luca videos and was happy and smiling. Rich sent me some on the phone and I showed her those and she held the phone and looked at them.

I was expecting a call telling me she got out of her chair after we left, but didn't get one. She works and works at the seatbelt and I think they better watch out!!!
