Sunday afternoon

Rachel and I went out to see grandma this afternoon.  She was in the recreation room for a pirate party.  We took her back to her room for a visit but she wasn't talking today.  She wants to be in bed all the time.  She can stand up for a short time but she quickly sits back down.  Earlier this week I asked her how old she was and she answered 12.  I was asking her about her son and she didn't know if she had any children.  She has bruises on her legs from bumping into things, she can sure move backwards very fast in her wheelchair.  Her eyes look better and I'm glad of that.  She sure is going downhill though.

Grandma was in the dinning room tonight when I arrived.  She had eaten two bites and then poured her drink on her plate.  When she doesn't want to eat she plays with the food in one way or another, pouring her drink is one way she does that.  It's her way of saying she doesn't want anything to eat. 

One of her shoes were off and I asked her why and she said she didn't want it on.  Her answer really surprised me and made me laugh.  It's been awhile since she has been able to understand what I'm asking and able to answer properly.  I thought it was a great answer.






For some reason Grandma bends over in her wheelchair all the time.  I don't know if it means she's tired and wants to lay down or what.

Grandma has an eye infection right now and I told them to call the doctor and get something for her.  She is so pitiful.  Everytime I  think she can't get any worse, something happens.
Usually grandma rolls back very quickly in her wheelchair so I tried to get a movie of her doing that but she wasn't moving fast tonight.

Grandma has a cut on the back of her calf, I guess from all the rolling around and bumping into things.  Her skin is too thin for stitches so they are using butterflys.

Wednesday 9/1/10

When I arrived tonight, Grandma was in her wheel chair trying to get into her roommates bed.  We got her cleaned and put her to bed, it took about 20 seconds for her to fall asleep.  She didn't know me tonight.
