Monday, Spet. 5- Another pretty good day. Mom hasnt needed any pain meds today (other then the patches she wears for 3 days at a time). She washed herself up this morning and changed her nightgown by herself. I think the TPN must really be helping because she isnt as weak as she was and she isnt shaking or dizzy when she gets up like she was when she first came home.
Toren has been extremely good lately around here. I know that he senses something is wrong. A few nights I have just held him on the sofa and cried as he smiled back at me. When he goes in to see mom, he is so careful by the bed. He leans into her so she can kiss him and he says he loves her. After his bath tonight, he was just standing in the hall by her room. So I took him in the room and sat him in the rocking chair. He sat with her and rocked very quiety for about 20 minutes. I think it was his way of letting her know that he cares. Im sure he will be spending more time up there now that he knows its ok to do so.
Mom has some friends from church coming over in the morning to see her as well as the visit from the home health aide (the one who doesnt like to work remember- lol). Lets hope she provides some services!!
