Day 17

It is hard to believe that my mom has been with me 17 days and also hard to believe the progress she has made! God is so Good!! Today was the busiest day we have had- we got up early to get her Flu shot- then went to the mall to spend her "Belk Bucks"and look around-she bought a new red sweater and socks to wear with her new shoes- next we went to Terranova's for lunch- an Italian restaurant that we like and then we picked up Sam at school- next we went to Costco and then to the WCA footballgame where it was my turn to sell tickets in the ticket booth- I took momma in there with me and so many people that know her, complemented her on how pretty she looked and how much better she was doing- she was so proud of herself and this was really good for her self-esteem! I am so proud of her too- we just have to be very careful about preventing falls and continue her physical therapy. One of the ladies working the ticket booth was telling us that she had built a cottage for her Mom on her property- and I started thinking how ideal that would be- we have three acres of land but just don't know if it would be feasible to do that- I could tell that it sounded really good to Momma- it's something to think about. Jay was surprised to see me and his Grandma at his last game- he didn't think I was going to be able to come- Momma got to see him run out on the field and also play a bit- we left at the beginning of the 2nd quarter because it was too cold- but she was proud to be able to see Jay- and of course, I was too. I hope we all sleep late tomorrow- it is Saturday and you know that means Roll Tide football- so we will see what happens...
