Today, I slept. After a crazy couple of weeks, I'm exhausted. Today we settled into a nice rhythm of Grandma time & no-Grandma time. She alternated every few hours between her suite and the rest of the house with us. She spent a few hours on the porch spying on the neighbors. This is one of my favorite pasttimes too. (not really spying, just observing. :)
She's not eating much, but I think that's because she got used to the painfully small portions at the nursing home. Not to mention, gross food.
She thoroughly enjoys watching the antics of kids and animals alike. It's nice to see her so engaged. At the center, she would sit for hours and watch game shows. She really didn't interact with people very much. This was one of the main reasons I brought her to live with us. It seemed as though she was fading quickly. I'm hoping that being in a more lively environment will be catchy.
Tomorrow I have a consultant coming over to see how safe our home is for her. He will also make suggestions to improve the situation for Grandma. In the afternoon, the director of the home health care is coming to access Grandm's needs so they can match her with the right nurses aid. We plan to have the NA here at least once a week.
