Subject: Tooth Brush and Cookies in the Morning.
Pop (Dad) really pulled off a miracle. Mom has been taken to an "extended care facility." Very nice place.
She will probably be there two months. Then we'll have to figure out her care after that.
It actually is right near Pop's lots up on the hill (where he wanted to build his house). It is amazing in life how things come around full circle.
I could not find Pop tonight at the facility - which has a LOT of wings (all with names).
I am too tired tonight to remember Mom's "lane". I think it is Shady Hill but not sure.
Mom came trucking down the lane in her wheel chair. She had a very determined look on her face.
After watching her and thinking she was probably going to die over the weekend it was amazing. I rubbed some cream on her legs (which look horrible with the circulation breaking down).
I kept teasing her about things, and she was responding well. I told her that she was at the A-Bar-A camp for seniors. She laughed.
It was so dear to watch Pop tuck Mom into bed. He kept kissing her and telling her that he would bring her a new tooth brush and cookies in the morning.
She ate two pin-wheels while I was there.
Pop has been going there 3 times a day to hand feed Mom, as the nurses said they did not have the time.

This true note came from "Pop and Mom's " (both in their eighties) daughter July 15, 2008. We thought it worth sharing.
