Saturday 12/14

It's a day of rest today.  Mom was feeling up to getting out yesterday so Dad and I took her out.  She was very confused but in good spirits. Because of our little adventure, she's very tired today and has been napping in the recliner off and on, but she definitely enjoyed getting out and about.

My dear friend Susan called today...just to check in as she does almost daily. We decided it's time to have a "girls night out"...a slumber party with mom at a suite at Harrah's (the local one). That way mom could spend a day doing her favorite thing...playing penny slots but would also be able to return to the room to rest whenever necessary, in the lap of luxury!  Dad thinks it's a great idea and not only would mom enjoy the special treatment, he would have a night to rest and relax as well.

I don't know what I'd do without Susan...she's my rock. She went through a similar experience with her mom and knows exactly what we're all going through.  It's nice to know I have a "sister" to lean on.
