I went today to visit my Great Grandma Wilbur, who is now 97 years old. Last weekend she was moved out of her house due to a stroke. She moved into the house of the nurse that was coming in a couple times a day to check on her.
It's so hard to see her the way she is now. She is so fragile! She can't really get around on her own. When we got there she was sleeping. She actually dozed most of the time I was there. I would talk to her and then she would go back to sleep. I was not sure if she realized who I even was. She had such a hard time keeping her eyes open. At one point I was talking to her when she was trying to sleep and she asked me who I was talking to because I was talking to myself and making noise. Terrie says she will say things like that and then be the sweetest lady the next time. I think she is very disoriented most of the time. There was one point when Terrie told her that my mom and I were there and that we had come to see her because we loved her and she sounded like she didn't realize that she was loved. I made sure I let her know I love her and she looked at me and said, "Thank you, I love you Salena."
yea, you are gunna have to post on FB when you make a new blog...I didn't even know you posted this!!!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw the pic on the blog I teared up! That is such a sweet picture of you and your great-grandma. I'm so glad you were able to let her know she is loved. I know how it feels to not know who you are going to meet when you go visit your loved one. Hopefully, you will be able to come see her again and she will be able to respond better to you. I love you!
Time to get Chad over to see Grams too. She really loves the men who come to see her. I know she would love for you & Chad to come & see her together. Love ya bunches, Mom
