Mom was sleeping when Claudia came to see her. The physical therapist came in and saw she was sleeping so he came back later. She did not have the right undergarment on and it was not closed. Claudia went to the head nurse and showed him. There was a whole bag of undergarments on the chair in her room so there was no excuse. An aide came in and washed her, dressed her and put the correct garment on her. She was placed in a chair and the physical therapist (PT) came in to work with her. The PT had her lifting her right leg high up to touch the PT's hand. She had to use her thigh muscle to do this. She even moved both feet at the ankles. Ava came at the end of her PT. When the PT left, Ava split up the thera-putty and modeled rolling the putty into balls to create a caterpillar. We started to do the “sounds around the house” CD with the photos that were taken of her items in her house when John and Jean came. Jean wore a mask and stayed back (wasn’t feeling good yesterday). We showed mom a picture of Jean as the Genie in Aladin. He was painted all in blue! Mom said “What for?” so we told her the show Aladin. John then started to toss the ball back and forth with mom. She is getting good at catching but still having difficulties (neuro-motor) with releasing items. Anyone who comes to visit can hand her things and ask her to drop them in your hand (release). She smiled when she saw Ava, John and Jean. Claudia still can’t get a smile!
Dad and Aunt Carol came to see mom this afternoon early and stayed until the evening. Aunt Carol said that mom was very quiet. Mom was cutting with the scissors and sewing with the sewing card while they were there.
Then John and Ava came back to see mom, they played with the therapy putty for a while again. She was sewing with her sewing cards and became bored so Ava told her to sew through the holes in the afghan that was on her and she did!! When they left mom, she blew a kiss to them both and told them that she loved them.
When I went to tuck mom in tonight, she was awake and the TV was on. She was looking down at her hands and fiddling with her sewing card and glasses. I gave her a big kiss and hug and held her in my arms for a long while. We prayed together like this and then I held her some more. I shut the lights and put her glasses away and took her hearing aids out and tucked her in.
