GOOD MORNING ROUGH AFTERNOON
Lou slept all night, woke up long enough to take a pain pill but said she wasn't hurting about 8 and slept until noon. That was after Lydia came to clean house and started the day helping me change Lou's diaper. We almost used all of the first package yesterday and this morning. Then people started coming. Krissi, the hospice nurse who bathes Lou came and complemented us on the good job of cleaning Lou. She changed the bed clothing, Lou's gown, and bathed her.
About 2 p.m. Sue and Ike brought her daughter Amanda from Dallas, who is a Pilates teacher and has her own business. She serves as personal trainer to the Basses in Fort Worth. Lou said doesn't she look beautiful and a lot younger than her years. She takes after Sue who doesn't look her age at all. Mandi had an iphone and took photos that she said she would send me when she got home to her computer and I will try to post them on the blog.
The hospice nurse came at 3 and said Lou's vitals were good. I had phone calls from both children morning and evening. My brother Robert called from Antlers, OK to check on us. Lou has been feeling blah as she does every evening but has been more possessive. She objects when I go to the kitchen to clean the dirty dishes and left her for 5 minutes. At 8 I gave her her bed time pills for pain and sleeping. It was a chore getting her to drink water to wash them down. I have to thank Lydia who saw her having difficulty drinking this morning and called her husband to bring some sippy cups she uses for her grandchildren. One of them is what Lou is now using and learning how to drink from.
We have had many offers of help from everyone and appreciate all the help. Thank all of you for your prayers.
