The blanket Laura gave mom a couple years ago is still getting good use
I needed a place to write things down. Journaling what’s going on, what I’m feeling/thinking, and what dementia does

Molly loves to sniff around at Vista. Today I spotted John petting Molly. John is a resident who doesn’t talk.

Today I was there at lunch time. As I watched mom, I’d say not so fast, chew it up good, wait. Well that did no good. So I held her hand down at the table while she tried to put more food in her already full mouth. I hate holding her hand down when she’s trying to use it. This probably happened 6-7 times. Then she said “I wish you would go”. Honestly it struck me funny. So I said aok I get it.

Fri 10/7/22 Stephie’s wedding day
John got in touch with Janette to do a FaceTime from the wedding in Colorado. A little tricky because Vt is 2 hours ahead, but Janette made it happen

Moms friend Pat Menduni offered to visit mom while I was in Colorado for Stephie’s wedding. She went twice. And Peg Bolgioni went too. It meant so much to me. Mom was definitely smiling she was so happy to see her long-time friends.
