I think Skooter is handling the disruptions (later food and shot times and me being gone so much) pretty darn well....
Thank you all for the suggestions....I think perhaps I will take a few moments and do a video of everyone saying hi to her.
She still has the NG tube in and so her throat gets dry fast and she can only have a few ice chips at a time to wet her mouth, so talking is difficult.
She has a mild form of dementia to begin with, so this just isn't helping...I just hate to see her sad and down like this. I wish we could get her more healthy, but at this point, I am not sure we can. I think I will also make sure I take a video of her opening up the present mom got so she can see her expressions when she does.
I am so beyond exhausted. We got the house ready for the shower (decorations up) and let's say we were all beyond tired and a little slap happy....early start tomorrow to start picking up cake and food and balloons etc.....
Thank you all for the continued prayers....it amazes me the power this group has when they send their vines out and I really truly believe they work. I appreciate them more than I can say. Thank you all for the suggestions, too! I want mom to feel part of the day for sure. Now I am gonna try to get some sleep so I can get up and go go go tomorrow....
