Getting Antsy


Since Luisa has been in the hospital (5 in all) for over 6 months, the case worker advised against taking her out for the day on the weekends. Even though we have taken mom to her new house, to restaurants and church, she doesn't remember it b/c it was all pre-shunt (or p.s. as I refer to it). Now, she is cognitive and not able to leave the hospital which makes her pretty bored on weekends and really ready to get out the hospital-which is great but frustrating to her.

She and dad watched the Hornets basketball game on the big screen at TIRR and he brought steak and creamed spinach in an attempt to make her feel like she was out in the real world. What a saint (no pun intended)!!!

Wishing each of you a very good week ahead.
Luisa and crew

The joy can be seen on everyone's face, especially the kids.

I am glad to hear about your continued recovery, Luisa.

I guess you might make that New York trip in August after all!!

Prayers.

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. This is such great news! I can hear Louisa now, screaming for the hornets, and suggesting different outfits for those HoneyBees!

This P.S. brings about such relief and joy not only in your family but your group of friends. I often think of those "Can you hear me now?" cell phone commercials when that guy has his support network behind him...Lu--you have that, too! Only instead of with cellular bars, it is with love!

In love and creamed spinach-----that sounds so good!
