Backtracking, Saturday daytime

Mom finally got a long awaited massage, which she really liked. Followed by therapy from Alan PT where she practiced walking. She now says Aye,Aye,Aye instead of Ouch,Ouch, Ouch, but she did it. She is pretty wobbly yet. We have a lot of work to do in this dept. Occupational therapy followed. The ot gave me a name of some placemat type material that can help mom to get more traction and assist lefty to stabilize a jar or other container while opening.

We sat down stairs for lunch, and awaited Mike and Toby. Just as they arrived, mom had a call of nature, and apologized but couldn't wait for Toby. She was then so tired, that she just wanted to lay down, so Mike and I walked Toby around the beautiful grounds and I went back up for a little visiting time. She commented that Toby probably doesn't remember her, but that it's good he has all his brothers and sisters, Karla and Mike, John and Kris. Lisa escaped the list somehow! This makes our decision to try to place Toby with an adopted family even more critical and difficult. If anyone has any pointers on this, I would welcome the advice.

Thanks to Kris for trying to get mom to eat her dinner, and as usual, I know I'm in trouble for suggesting it. She certainly has tried, but is uncomfortable in the digestive area. maybe tomorrow she'll feel more hungry. Sunday night is shower night, so please make an attempt to convince her or help with the shower. Ladies only on the helping, though.
