Mom’s update Friday, September 16th, 2011
Sorry I didn’t mail out the blog. Everything is OK. I fell asleep at 8:30 last night from exhaustion!
I started the day with mom and set her up for the day. I also helped her with breakfast. After breakfast I gave her the tray table with three sewing cards. She asked me what to do with them and I showed her and she finished half a card by the time I left. I also gave her a crossword puzzle and a pen. So far she hasn’t filled in a crossword puzzle for me independently but I keep leaving them there in the hopes she will. I also left her “Love Notes to Dotty “ book and the vocabulary easel her friends bought her for Christmas. It is a book that stands like an easel and has words and definitions on it. She loves words!
Dad and Anthony came next and Anthony worked with mom. They went outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and sat there until lunch. After lunch mom went to therapy. Dad waited for her and stayed to put her in bed. I called in the evening and mom was very happy that dad was going to be with her to put her to bed.
My dad is the Grand Marshal of the Town of Babylon fireman’s parade today!!! Mom is sad she won’t be there so I am video taping it and taking pictures! He only found out yesterday afternoon so not all of us will be there because we didn’t know. My brother is going to Philadelphia with his family this weekend, a well-deserved vacation. Kathy is upstate delivering much needed supplies to our friend who is a pastor. Pastor Dotty lives between two towns that were wiped out during hurricane Irene. Kathy called last night crying that both towns were totally gone. No houses or stores. Please pray for those people who have lost everything.
I am heading to mom to give her breakfast and stay with her today until dad’s parade.
Peace and be well.
