We had a nice visit with mom last week. She had some ups and downs but pretty good spirits overall. They had a male nurse helping her with her hygiene a couple of times, and she was very uncomfortable with that - so I took care of that. She also liked sitting on the big couch in the lounge so I asked for a recliner to be put in her room, they said they would see if they could find an available one for her. It is nice to get out of that bed. I think she secretly jogs around the halls at night. ;-)
Oh and if anyone is looking for John Huston, we found him... he is at the rehab with mom. he does not wake up much and they feed him in his sleep, but we did locate him. ;-)
She is getting stronger every day even though she does not see it. She wakes up at night hurting and she gets scared but I told her this disease does not have control of her body - God does.............. we all gave it to Him a long time ago so each day she wakes up, is one day less with it. It is easy to bet discouraged when you are in there all alone, believe me - I know. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that there is a higher power in control even though it does not seem like it.
