Today was Grandparents' Day and I went to Levi's school to spend the time with him. Jody went to Addy's school, and I'm sure they had a great time! Jody and Addy have a pretty special relationship. She likes to mimic him in a lot of ways - some of which aren't the greatest!Levi and I had a good time - taking pictures and looking around his classroom. He rode home with me, after we stopped off and got lunch to take home for everyone. It was a good day and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. One of my greatest joys is spending time with the grandkids and I never get tired of it!
Happy Grandparents' Day to all of you other Grandparents!
Candace and Joey sat with Granny while I went to Levi's school. Candace said she did all right, but when it was time for her to go to the bathroom, Mom couldn't remember where it was. Candace said she got all the way back to the one in Jody's and my room before realizing she had gone to the wrong place. After she ate lunch and took her medicine, she had a little bit of an anxiety attack. I can tell a difference in the way she is handling them now because she is able to get herself under control much more quickly than in the past. When she started crying, I went and sat beside her and held her hand. She turned to me and started talking to me as if I were Aunt Beryl - telling me how close she had always felt to me especially when I was married to Harold. I didn't try to correct her, I really thought when she looked at me she would realize that it was me, but she never did! That's really the first time she hasn't recognized me and it was a bit unnerving for me. I talked with her for a bit and then she was ready to go to bed and take a nap. She sleeps much more now than she used to - she is just really tired! It's really good to have her back home!

Does Levi have Mrs. Shay? I love Mrs. Shay!!! I remember when mom and Paula went for Emelia's grandparent's day. A little boy didn't have a grandparent so Paula (matt's mom) sat with him. It was a fun day for Emelia too. I pray that Izzy has that experience in a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you continue to see good results with your mom's medication changes. I imagine it would be hard to not be recognized. For some reason the other night I was thinking about some of the more painful moments in this journey (I guess the devil was trying to get to me) and I remembered when they wheeled Izzy out of MWC ER to mediflight her to Children's. I saw her eyes, spoke to her, and saw no recognition. It was so heartbreaking. I have since even right after she "woke up" a day or two after her accident known that she knows me. Her heartrate changed when I came into the room. But, I will never forget that moment and several others that are so painful.
You and your mother remain in my thoughts and prayers.
