Ho Hum Monday

Today was so so.  The therapists tried to get Mom to walk with the walker five different times this morning, but each time she was too tired and just sat down.   Later in the afternoon, they tried the harness in addition to the walker, and she was able to walk down the hall three times. I guess she just needed some additional help holding herself up today.   Some days are like that!

She did a bit better today with food and drink, so that was a plus.  She also got another shower and shampoo, and enjoyed getting her hair blow dried as she snuggled under some warm blankets.  After that we left for about half an hour to go downstairs for a bite to eat.  When we got back, Mom was in a much better mood, and we enjoyed a good visit for a bit, complete with conversation and laughter. After family prayer we left so she could rest.  We're praying for a good night's sleep and a better tomorrow.

Sleep tight, sweet Mom!  We love you so!
