Day 14

It's hard to believe that tomorrow Momma will have been with me two weeks! Last night was fine- she only woke up twice to go to the bathroom. We had a big day today starting with her lab work this morning. After that we went to eat breakfast at Cracker Barrell and they had a great fire going in their huge fireplace- we asked for a place beside the fire and it was awesome- momma loved the heat on her back and the breakfast was good. Next we went to the mall because Momma wanted to find some good comfortable shoes- we ended up finding two pair of Ecco's and she was like a little kid with new shoes- she loves them- she also bought a new sweater and this really made her feel good. Next we went on a tour of the Alzheimer Assisted Living home that we have been considering- after the tour and talking with my mother- the director said that her level of Alzheimers is not severe enough for their facility! Great news! I know the Lord has answered prayer and has cleared her mind- she was so happy that she didn't qualify!!! So our next step is to find the best Assisted Living place for her in Huntsville. Wherever she goes, she will still have to be mobile or at least be able to transfer from chair to bed or toilet without help. We have our work cut out for us because she can only take a few steps and they are very unsteady. Our supper was brought tonight by Denise - one of my good church friends and it was so good- again, I don't know how I could face this without faith in my God and my awesome church family! She is sleeping now- all snuggled in her recliner with our dog Allie- hope tonight goes well...
