It's still cold but the wind died down. The sun is beginning to peak over Toquer Hill and the sky is turning light blue. Today I'm writing up the notes (not minutes) of yesterday's Office-staff Meeting, getting the documents together for the Council's notebooks and hopefully delivering them. It's Pam's birthday tomorrow so I got her a card. I didn't know what to get her. She's sick so much! I ended up buying her cranberry juice. LOL! Layne liked it, I hope she does.
I'm happy today and I hope you are too! Mom is doing good today. She was crossing her legs, which I haven't seen her do in a long time! I'm so amazed at the small improvements every day. It's been a long fast slide downhill for so long with us trying to do what we're told. The Neurologist gave us permission to cut her meds (except the Levoxyl for her thyroid, of course) because she felt at this point it couldn't hurt. Mom had a couple of days there where we couldn't even get her to eat. So we have been taking her off of the Exelon and the Prosac and the sleeping pill. Low and behold! She's more awake, she stopped listing to one side or the other! She's speaking in the occasional sentence again, and trying to speak a lot more! She's interested in food, though, she still holds it in her mouth and has a hard time remembering to swallow. If she's close to the end I couldn't think of a happier ending then to have her personality back! She likes to sit by me when I practice the piano and tries to help me! It makes me cry, she's so sweet and encouraging!
I hope you're all focused on the people you love and enjoying each other! I miss you when I don't see you! Have a wonderful day!!
