Scary Call about Mom

Saturday, was very scary because one of our favorite nurses Christa, called and told us Mom fell but not on her broken arm.  Mom hates being in a wheel chair, and wants to be a walking Diva. She wants to be able to go where she wants too. Christa said Mom complained a lot of pain in her back, so she was going to have her get X-rays. Thank goodness everything came out negative. We were told to not visit her on Saturday because they wanted to give her some pain meds and have her rest. If we came she would start crying and tell us what happened, and by waiting to see her on Sunday she will not even remember her fall.

After breakfast on Sunday we went to see her, and she was sitting at the nurses station. When she saw us she put on this big smile and was so happy to see us, especially Kristofer. She even showed me how much she liked her polka-dotted socks. Everyone that came by her she would greet them with a big smile and a sweet welcome. She still thinks this is her home, and of course I keep telling her that she is in the hospital.

The following photos are from last week.......

Mom exercises every day and loves it. She thinks she is such a cool Diva..... Loves to show off on how hard she is working.

We took Mom for a walk and she loved this funny Halloween Creature. I know you see some wildflowers in her hand. I know I am not suppose to pick them, but how could I tell an 88 year old lady NO!!!!

 Here is Tom, and Kristofer pushing her on are walk.

 Mom wanted another photo taken just in case she did not smile....

A bunch of ladies sit by the nurses station. This lady tells us all that her son is a lawyer and she is there to help him find the bad guys.

 Mom was telling Tom to move this and that in her room. She still likes to be Miss Boss.

She is telling us that she does not like staying in this wheel chair and can't understand why she has to be in this chair.

People are always coming to visit her, and we also have some photos for her to remember her apartment at AH.

She has to hurry and get that bone healed so she can go back to American House. Mom smiles and says she can't wait. I hate to see her at this nursing home, but God has blessed us with such an AWESOME place. The people care about her and love her so much. I still can't believe its near my old school district that I taught at.
