Wilma, Amelia and I walked in this morning after she had just finished her coffee (the nurse said she would take a sip and say mmmmmmmmm, over and over) and was sitting there in her wheel chair. Again, I asked her, "you ready to do some walking"? she answered sure and away we went. She tied her own shoe lace and she and I walked halfway down the hall and back again. She is unsteady but did held almost all her weight on her own. She went through the deck of cards separating them by suit then she went through and counted each suit. She did great. She read the sign for me and when I quizzed her she did pretty well this time. We also went through the flashcards of pictures and got most of them right. She thinks she is in jail for some strange reason and then later thought she was she was sleeping in Great Grandma's room (who has been deceased for a long time....like 20 years I think). She is always worried about someone (we think Amelia) bc she is always asking if she is okay, if she is eating too, if she is warm enough or too warm). Very interesting stuff. She ate a great lunch for Johnny and did well with the recognition with him too. She was all lit up while he was there and even patted his face :) awwwww. This afternoon she told me she wanted to "talk" and so we did. She would not believe I was married and I blew her mind when showed her pictures from my wedding and pictures of her at my wedding. Johnny said she really wanted a coke and was wired afterwards lol. She didn't want to sleep and was too tired to walk too much for him. She did not want to be in bed though so he wheeled her all over that place. Oh and she is steady working on her seek and find and finding hard words in harder puzzles. She is doing soooooo well. Keep it up Mom. We love you!
