WHAT DO

Filed under: CROCHET,FRIENDS,MOTHER — grandi13 @ 8:50 pm

I do now??? I realized today that Mother needs a little cape to keep her shoulders nice and warm when she is sitting up. I have found a child’s pattern that I can use to make it (will just have to increase original chain by 8 (eight)). The problem that I am facing is what color or colors to use.

For Mother’s ease in being dressed, she only wears gowns that open in the back and matching housecoats. This way she does not have to lift her arms and nothing goes over her head. The colors are lavender, pink, mint green, blue and yellow.

Well, for now, I guess that I do nothing for Mother and work on the baby blanket that is still not finished. Nope, change mind again, found 1 skein of lavender, so I am going to start a cape and hope that when I get more yarn the colors are the same dye lot.

MOTHER-15

Filed under: MOTHER — grandi13 @ 4:51 pm

DD#1 and I went to See Mother today.

She had been taken to the dining room to be fed her lunch.  I called on the way and was told they were having a fish sandwich for lunch.  There is a restaurant about a mile from the facility that specializes in seafood.  Before going to the facility, I went by and picked up a shrimp plate for her.  She only ate maybe a third of it.

Mother did not look as alert today as she has for the past  couple of days.    Maybe she was more tired today.  I am sure she had been up at least an hour before we got there, and was just waiting for someone to feed her.  I do wish that I was closer so that I could be more available to assist in her care.  If I could just be there at meal times, I would know that she was given every opportunity needed to eat all that she wants.  I am sure that when she indicates she has had enuff that she is not prompted or enticed to eat more.   I know little things to do to get her to eat more and they do not and it would do no good to tell them as they cannot understand the simple instruction of “Mother needs on her white socks and then a pair of thicker socks over them at all times”.
I know that my train of thoughts have not been separated correctly, but that is how life is today.
