Meme Update

The plan on Sunday was for Lori to get off work at noon and take Baylor to finally see Meme.  He has not been able to see here and she has been down here for two weeks now.  Since she is in rehab he was able to visit.  Baylor and I worked on two crafts for Meme to make her feel better.  Baylor is an excellent nurse and is really concerned about Meme feeling better.  First it was her knees and now her chest.  I picked up a wood frame for a dollar and some heart foam stickers.  This was his second experience painting with real paint. He is a pro with the bathroom paint and did really well with covering it.  He really liked driving the brush around and around and around so the paint became a bit dry and streaky but it is all good. 

I did not take a photo of it finished but I wrote Meme and Baylor along the bottom and he put the stickers on it.  We also made a little boy angel. I traced his feet for the gown and his hands for the wings. 

We picked Meme up in the rehab room and Baylor helped her finish her lap around the room.  The nurse was a bit concerned, not knowing him of course, that he would trip her up or something but he was a perfect walk make for her.  Back at her room he was all about giving her the crafts. 

She loved them of course. We found a photo of them at Christmas and put it in the frame.  It is sitting on this shelf in the wall unit and when they went in today, everyone knew who Baylor was.  Meme tells everyone about him!

Meme is like me and likes a lot of photos.  Lori is like her dad and they do not like photos.  Can you tell?

Baylor was overdue for a nap and was getting a bit crazy running into the hall and back into the room. 

I know it did Meme good to see Baylor.  Dave goes in to see her also so she is well visited by most of her grandsons.  Jason lives pretty far away, does not know the area and is not likely to drive down here by himself.   Yesterday she was finally able to wash her hair and feels a lot better.  She has lost 9 lbs which is really good and if she keeps it up it will help her get off some of her meds.   She is doing really well and we could not be more pleased with her progress.
