Project pictures

She really is doing better and better just a little confused this week. Her gorgeous personality still shines through just like her gorgeous smile. Check out our finished projects!



Girl's night September 17th

When I picked Mom up on Friday afternoon around 3 I greeted with a big hug and smile which was wonderful but I soon noticed she seemed more confused than normal. Upon asking Amanda, her home health person, she confirmed my fear of her being way more confused lately. It seems the Dr took her off her meds that were making her clearer yet causing her to be more anxious, shaky and feel nauseous and "drugged". They are still tweaking her medicine as it can take a long time so confusion just might be part of the deal for a little while. And, when I say confusion, I mean CONFUSION. Maybe she was just having an off night but it seemed like it was everything she was confused about and a lot of it just didn't make any sense at all. Usually when I repeat some of her "logic" back to her she will recognize how silly it sounds and admit she is just confused but she was standing by her words on Friday. She even told Amelia to hand her Grandma (referring to me) something and when I corrected her in saying I was indeed not Amelia's Grandma she corrected herself and said, "Oh sorry, hand this to Aunt Angie" then insisted that I was never married, Brent was Co's (her sister) boyfriend, I never had a baby and Amelia was HER child. UGH. Even after I showed her pictures of me having Amelia she STILL argued her point. She also kept wanting to walk out to "the front of the store (house) to check on the customers". Other than a few difficult moments, Me her and Amelia still had a good time on our girls night. We made a "sucker cupcake" (will post a few pics of this), gave her a manicure and pedicure(and shaved her legs in the process), made "spooky cookies" as Amelia likes to call them :) here are a few pics of the "sucker cupcake" lol.

Here are some pictures I had forgotten to post of Amelia and Mimi when we all went to the library one day. :)



Girls Night September 10th

This past Friday Girls night consisted of only 2 girls...me and Mom bc because Amelia was out of town in Baton Rouge. Mom's home health person said she was a little more confused this past week and Johnny told her that the Doctor is still tweaking meds. She isn't shaking as much but does seem a little more confused. She and I did some cooking as well as dinner and manicures. She def had a good time but not as good of a time as when Amelia is there lol.

Girls Night September 3rd

I went to visit Mom at her adult daycare at lunch last week and she was all smiles and doing pretty darn good. She seemed to light up when I mentioned making goodies for Christmas a little early since we will have a little one in 2 months=no time to make peanut butter balls, cookies, etc lol. She even mentioned making Christmas ornaments and snicker doodles. I picked her up Friday like usual and she was having a pretty good day! Johnny said she had had a rough few days as she was sporting 2 black eyes and 2 bruised knees from running into the door one night and hitting her knees. She, Amelia and I did craft time and made some rings out of the pull tabs from juice cartons and milk cartons as well as had our normal manicures. Here are 2 pictures of them showing off both.
