Day 35

September 4, 2009

Grandma is HOME! She has been since September 1st! She is doing wonderful! We had conversation as we spent about seven hours together today! She remembered holding William's hand in the hospital. When I arrived, I did not tell her who I was. I just greeted her and we started talking. Aunt Cindy was about to show me how to empty the cathetor bag when I told her I knew how to do it and that I do it every day at home for Mary. Mom arrived a few minutes later. Mom and I stood at the foot of the bed; Mom was on her right side and I was on her left. Since she is still paralyzed on her left side, she can not see out of her left eye and therefore could not see me standing there. She looked at Mom and said, "Lisa said she does this everyday. Did she change jobs?" That was amazing to me because not only did she remember who I was, but she remembered that I do not work with older people. Praise God!!!
