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."
I decided to create a blog about grandma so her family and friends could log on to see updates and photos of her anytime instead of waiting for me to send updates. I will be adding info weekly so check in to see what's new with her.
