Claudia began the day with mom this morning. Mom had a shower today and she loves that. Claudia did mom’s physical therapy/full range of motion exercises and then did the IPAD. On the IPAD, mom and Claudia did some speech apps and the “Fruits and Vegetable” vocabulary game as well. Mom watched, “The Electric Company” on the IPAD too. As Claudia was leaving, Anthony, Con, Anthony-Michael, and Sammy came to see mom late in the morning. Today is Anthony Michael’s 15th birthday!! Claudia wrote, “Happy Birthday” on the white board and
mom read, “py Birthday” to Anthony Michael. Claudia had attached a stylus for the IPAD onto a rod and gave it to mom because they realized that she was touching the IPAD. When she took the stylus, Anthony asked mom if she thought she was Guy Lombardo and mom cracked up laughing!!! Anthony, Con and the kids talked to mom and made her laugh a lot. They read the “All About Me” book to mom. Then they also did her physical therapy/range of motion exercises 2 times. They said that mom raised her right hand to try to touch her forehead a lot and moved and raised her left arm a couple of times. She fell asleep for about an hour and then they left. Dad had arrived just before they left. Dad did her physical exercises again and they talked to mom and watched TV until she fell asleep. Terry came to see mom just around dinner time. Dad and Terry said that mom actually touched her mouth and nose a few times with her right hand. Dad said that mom put her hands together as she slept. JoAnn and I came just after dinner to see mom. She greeted us with a smile and was in bed watching TV with the closed captioning on (Dad left when we arrived). JoAnn stretched mom’s hands and also blew bubbles for mom to track. Mom watched the bubbles and she also held onto 2 of her piggies (one that Ava gave her and one that I gave her). The nurses came in to change mom and then I stroked her face and arm and played with her hair and she fell asleep. Another good day. Amen.
