Kath,
Claudia started mom's day @ 9:30. She cleaned her ears and hearing aides. She did full PT in the chair then she worked on the calendar, Mom fell asleep while she did it. Mom listened to music on the IPAD while she was sleeping. Anthony, Con, Anthony Michael & Samantha went to see mom @ 11:00. She was sleeping when we got there. Anthony and Anthony Michael did full PT on Mom in the chair. Anthony told Mom that Anthony Michael was going to get a job @ McDonalds and Anthony said that Anthony Michael has to be careful because they might mistake him for a french fry. Mom went hysterical laughing and so did ALL of us. Sam took out the IPAD and played with mom. They played the mouth program and Tic Tac Toe. Then we all looked @ family photos on the IPAD. Mom was looking and smiling at times. Anthony was making mom laugh so much. Mom also mouthed a lot of words but we could not understand them. Then John and Ava came around 1:30 to visit with mom. We all talked and laughed a lot. Terry came after too. Sam, Anthony, Anthony Michael were working with mom with cousin Carmine's pictures. She really did not focus on the pictures. Also mom moved her feet a lot when put back in bed. BTW we noticed that when mom was in the "Chair" she was not able to move her feet because the foot rest is too high for her feet to move. Con and Anthony did full PT on her while she was in bed... we noticed that her left ankle looked a little bit swollen. Sam asked mom "Are you feeling OK" because her expression looked like she was in pain. (her eyes were squeezed shut tight). Mom said out loud "I feel good". We ALL told her how happy and proud we were of her that she spoke out loud. After that again Sam asked " What's wrong", because she had the same expression, Mom mouthed "I don't know". Anthony said "I love you" to mom. Mom mouthed I love you too. When we were about to leave we asked the nurse to put mom's mitts on and she also noticed that mom had that expression on her face. The nurse came in also with the (next shift nurse) and mentioned if we wanted to give mom some tynelol at that point we said no. The nurse and the CNA said they will keep an eye on mom. Con, Ant, Ant, Sam and Terry tucked mom in prayed with her and kissed her good night.
