It was a nice holiday here in Sycamore. I actually slept in and Mom was asleep when I got to the hosptial. They lowered her vent from 14 to 12. (that is breaths per minute) She had a good day, tolerated the change with no problem. She also had alot of awake time too! I like to sit and just talk to her, but I try to be quiet too. She gets tired easy and I try not to overload her senses, which is not good for a stoke patient like her. I did try to soak and scrub her fingernails for her and she did not like it!! Back to the drawing board on that one. She was up in her chair for about 3 hours in the evening. It was actually too long, she was getting very fidigity and went right to sleep when she got back in bed. She winked at me too! That made my day!!
I had a nice dinner in the cafeteria. I had turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, green bean casserole and some apple pie and I have to say it was really pretty good.
Today is exciting for me. Jeff is coming today!!!!!!!!!!! Then this evening Rich, Marie, Jonah and Paige will be here. I have not got to love on those babies for several months and plan to spoil them while they are here. Hey, isn't that my right as an aunt? I know Mom will be so glad to see everyone. She will have a busy weekend. Saturday night the 6 of us are going to Midevil Times. I don't think the kids or Jeff have been there. I think it will be really fun and good for me to get away for awhile.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day and ate lots!! Mom's aid Ruby said she ate too much turkey when she came back for her break and was moaning about how much her stomach hurt and she couldn't bend over. Mom was smiling at her. She is one of the sweetest aides we have had. Hope she can move today!
Bunches of Love, Angela
