It takes a village

It is good to have mom at home.  She has been here since February and she seems happy to be home again.  Even though she does not recognize us, she still remembers names and voices.  Taking care of mom is a lot easier now that I have help.  Mom has a home maker that accompanies her on week days.  She has a nurse that comes to see her once a week.  She also has her doctor who comes the visit her once a month.  She gets along fine with all of them.  It is nice to know that we all share a common interest.  We all want to make mom feel better.  She is really coming along well.  When I look at her walking around, dancing, and singing, it is hard to believe that she was bed ridden just 3 months ago.  I am grateful for all the help I have.  I have heard that it takes a village to raise a child, well the same is true for me.  It takes a village to keep mom strong and happy.

Happy Eating

Great news… Mom passed her video swallowing test.  She can eat now.  She has been eating and enjoying her favorite foods.  She loves oatmeal.  She now looks forward to every meal and she savors everything she eats now (mmmmmm).  She really did miss eating and she says she is hungry all the time.  She just loves to eat.  Happy eating Josephina.
