Mom was in a great mood yesterday. She helped me put her cloths on by lifting her arms when I asked which she just stopped doing the last month. And she laughed at almost everything instead of being mad or yelling. It has been months or close to a year since she laughed. I don't know what to think. She talked to me kind of normal. I could not understand all she said but that is okay. I did not cry once yesterday. In fact I smiled a lot.
When I would ask her to take a bite of food she would say Why. That is really great for us.LOL!
When I changed her she went back to the yelling but I think part might be pain and the other is she can't understand what I am doing down there. Even when I tell her over and over. I would yell too.

Karen, I've spent some time reading your blog posts and I feel so humbled by your loyalty and love for your mom. You should be the one to write a book! It touches my heart that you have offered to pray for me. I have written your name on my prayer list. God bless you.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen
