This is such a good picture of grandma, she rarely opens her left eye and I happened to catch her looking with both eyes open and a little smile. She's so tiny now I think I may have to start buying her little girl's size clothes.

10/23/10
Grandma was in a talkative mood tonight. She would respond to questions pretty good! Especially when Rhea Lynn asked her who her favorite grandchild was and grandma said "Kellie"!!! All this time I thought it was Jason. She said her son's name is Bobby King but doesn't know where Elliot is. One thing I noticed tonight that she hasn't done before is she was taking shallow breaths.

Tuesday night
Just got home from being with grandma, she was restless tonight when we put her to bed. She kept trying to get up and hold hands. She would try to lean on her right arm and hold hands. She also hugged me tonight which hasn't happened since the beginning of summer. I was afraid to leave her tonight because of the way she was acting. Since she isn't able to tell me how she's feeling, I didn't know if she was feeling afraid, in pain or just uncomfortable. She did finally settle down and I came on home.

room change
Grandma is in a different room now, room 12. She had to be moved because she wouldn't stop being mean to her former roommate. I realize hatefulness it part of the disease and she has sure had her share of it. The room she is in now has two other ladies and grandma sleeps in the middle bed.
She has gained weight and now weighs 80lbs. I believe the reason for this is because of Michael, a CNA that she really likes. When he is there during meal time she allows him to feed her. He can get her to drink her ensure and as long as he sits with her she'll eat.
Last Thursday night when we were cutting her fingernails she knew her birthday - what a shock! She said she is 84. Rhea asked her if she remember Brother Sellec and she said, "he sure was a good one". We no longer have to bribe her with candy to cut her nails, she just sits there. I asked her if she had children but she said no.
I told her she has a beautiful new great-great-grandson and she said, "sure nuff? well that's a good one."
