Pam did yeoman's work last night. She slept on the couch to easily hear Gram while Shelley slept in the other bedroom. I was put in time-out and sent to the 2nd floor complimentary room.
I have to tell you a funny: Last night Noah saw that Gram was sitting up on the edge of the bed. He looked at me (Katy) and said, "Uh--Gram's making a run for it!" I went in to help and asked Noah to get Pam or Shelley for me... he just about flew into the other room and said with his eyes as wide as saucers, "Pam, Katy needs your help! Gram's on the move!" It was so funny because the tone in his voice seemed like she was sprinting down the hall and that we might have to tackle her! We all got quite the laugh...
This morning Gram Skyped with Anna, Jack, and Janeen, but was pretty sleepy after the long night. She can hear all of us still and is responsive, but isn't much of a chatterbox now. I know she can hear us because I was about to wash out her mouth and asked her to open up. She smiled and opened up and told me, "That feels so good."
We are expecting Mark Senior and Deuce this afternoon and MJ and Amy about 1:00. Gram knows they are on their way and is excited to be with them.
Marge Nave stopped by today and is visiting right now with her.
Linda, the activity director for Veranda Park, stopped by to visit. She brought a huge bouquet of yellow smiley face balloons that cheer up the room!
Guys, the out pour of love has been tremendous. It is so beautiful to see how much love these "people" who aren't part of our "family" have for our Gram! We think we've had about 40-50 visitors over the last 5 days!
