Then, who should walk into our room but Danielle, one of our earliest tender mercies, the nurse who helped us get Mom moved from LDS Hospital to the neuro ICU here in Murray. She ended up being Mom's nurse tonight, despite the fact that she usually works in ICU. We were so excited to see her and thank her again for all she did for Mom and for our family. Then we shared with Mom some of the events she's been through. Mom bore her testimony several times about how blessed our family has been through this whole ordeal.
Her nurses assistant tonight, Ruth, has taken special care of Mom. Mom kept calling her Betty, and we were wondering what Mom was thinking. Dad finally figured out that Ruth looks like someone they served with at Adam-ondi-Ahman named Betty!
It has been a special treat to have been in Mom's presence tonight and the Spirit was there in abundance. We closed the evening with a family prayer around her bed, and left feeling peaceful and calm. So this was the biggest tender mercy of all, and reminds us all that this is what families are all about!
Goodnight, our dear, sweet Mother, wife and friend.
How cool! We were there around 5pm and she was sound asleep. We wrote her a note and then she woke up for a few minutes -- she definitely has the Grammie phrasing and sound back in her voice. We told her to take a nap and we would come see her again tomorrow afternoon. She said, "Oh, good. Thanks, Nancy. Love you!"
ReplyDeleteLove you too, Grammie!
