Hi Everyone,

We had our most normal day since Mom has been sick.

We (my CNA and I) got her out of bed and she immediately perked up. She ate a normal lunch and we chatted about shopping. By the time she got back into bed, she was exhausted.

I just checked on her and she's watching the Golden Globe Awards with a little smile on her face.

As for me, well, I feel like I took a Valium or had a few drinks. My entire body has relaxed and I am going to call it a night.

Before I go, just wanted to relate another nursing home horror story. My friend's son-in-law's grandmother was having trouble breathing but no one at her nursing home called 9-1-1 because they were too busy! By the time an ambulance was called, it was too late. She died from oxygen deprivation in the ambulance. I heard about this yesterday and needless to say, I was up all night checking on Mom's oxygen.

Until later . . .
