Well today marked the first day of school for most of us, although Jill's kids started Thursday. Grandma seems to be doing the same as she has been for the past week, still declining but at her own pace. We have all exchanged the thought that this is definitely her journey.
Molly the aide came this morning about nine and gave Grandma a bath. It was an experience and we had a little scare but she made it back into her bed safe 'n sound and nice 'n clean. Molly and I decided that perhaps on Wednesday if the services are needed, a bed bath might be the best route to go. After the bath Grandma was pretty tuckered out and slept soundly for a while.
Tracey the RN came around 12:30 and checked Grandma's vitals. The vitals were strong. We're all just reminding ourselves the fact that this is indeed her journey. She's a strong woman, and is bound and determined to do this her way. I love her for that very reason.
The harpist came today and played for Grandma. Barbara and I were there and were able to listen to the beautiful music. At the beginning, Grandma hollared out and got a little restless. She had never done this during a harpist session before so it was surprising. She calmed down after I gave her some anti-anxiety medicine and the harpist played for 40 min. more. It was so comforting.
We're all just hanging in there and relying on Heavenly Father to continue to give us the strenght to press forward. Love you guys!
