Day 16

Today was hectic in the morning getting her bathed, dressed and fed before the therapist and nurse came- but we made it just barely. She slept well last night- she said it took her a while to finally fall asleep- My sister called and wanted to come over and I took that opportunity to go to the grocery store- it felt good to get out alone- My husband, Jerry, found out that he has the flu today- none of us have had our shots yet- I am going to try and find a place for momma to get a shot tomorrow- the flu is the last thing she needs- she is doing so well- and we don't need a setback. Today she went to the bathroom alone with her walker and no one even behind her- of course, I was watching closeby- just in case- her improvement is amazing- I know that if we had left her in a facility, she would not have improved- that is affirmation for me that I did the right thing. I am still very tired all of the time- just wish I could catch up on sleep and I guess I'm not sleeping soundly because I am waiting to hear her call for me or mother! Tomorrow we will go to the mall and eat out with my sister- Momma has a coupon that she must use by this weekend for $40 and she wants to get some new clothes or shoes again. I have not missed teaching at all- I think God knew that I needed a break and all of this just worked out in His divine plan. He is so good...
