Mom’s update Sunday, September 18, 2011
I started the day with mom. Mom had a great breakfast today and she enjoyed it very much. After breakfast I took out the IPad and we worked on the new apps I downloaded. One was a category app where she was given three items and she had to give the category. One of the examples was a dog, a cat and a fish. Mom said, “Things you find in your house!” She cracks me up! She did well but it is so curious the categories she remembers and the high level thinking skills and then the ones she has no words for. It took a lot of thought and she enjoyed it. We then did an inferencing app where they give a situation and mom had to answer a question based on inferential information. She did well on this as well. She didn’t get everyone correct and a few were tough, but she enjoyed it. I showed her pictures of dad in the parade and she cried because she wasn’t able to be there. I felt bad, but I wanted her to see how handsome dad was. Dad came early today and I showed him how to use the IPad so he can play some games with mom. When I left, they were playing a word game.
My dad’s cousin, Angelo and his wife Madeline and cousin Jo Ann came to visit. Angelo sang a new 2nd verse of his song that he wrote for mom. Angelo and Dad told stories of when they were young and I was told that they laughed and laughed and laughed! Mom showed them how she can stand up. Lenny held under one arm and she stood almost all the way up straight, twice! Lenny said he was holding her but not lifting her.
Kathy and Lenny stayed with mom and put her to bed. They said a prayer and left.
Peace and be well…
