I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO LOOK AT THE COMPUTER TO LET ME KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS! Tis Monday. I knew that I would be getting up early to watch a grand baby today. Baby Time for the day is quiet now. I know that I got to entertain this lil guy until he fell asleep. In between, he was fed, diapered, and visited with. A few smiles in there and some tears. He has a very healthy appetite and doesn't like having to wait for nourishment.
When he is older, little finger food can be given to him to tide him over until a bottle is ready. He's drinking mother's milk for now and when it's in a bottle, the bottle has to be warmed. He doesn't like waiting. Gently bouncing doesn't take his mind off of not having a bottle. I tried oatmeal and this was a no-go. He was a happy camper when the bottle was ready. I was too.
Granny Nanny here.
Hubby and I have been visiting about my Mom's living situation where she needs to go into ASSISTED LIVING. Isn't simple at all. Places around here have no beds, not enough staff, no new clients. There is one place that has a bed and I think we had better jump on it. Now to have a pow wow with my siblings and my MOM.
I believe I need to get on top of the rules and laws about when going into a nursing home or long term care for myself and my husband as well. At 66...I think it's something to kick around to where we have some ideas what we need to know about when the time comes if it comes knowing that things can all change with what's the norm at the time may not apply in 10 years. So hanging loose, flexible, but hopefully better informed about this getting older.
Mom's little dog was going to have to go to another home or have to be put to sleep. We received a phone call today telling us that ELLA has a new HOME!!! I cried tears of joy. Mom has had Ella for nearly 15 years and is well loved. We are extremely HAPPY that ELLA is going to be taken care of so Mom can be at ease about her puppy. My Dad has been gone 5 years already and he so loved her. She'd lie on his legs for naps. Ella loves to nestle in beside my Mom's hip and leg when she is sitting in her recliner. Mom can no longer take care of Ella since Mom has broken her hip and still in the Hospital. Ella having a new owner makes me very HAPPY. A sigh of relief! TIS GREAT NEWS.
I'll be away from BLOGLAND for a few days as I will be occupied taking care of my MOM and think it best to take a few days off. One day closer to nicer weather. One day closer to knowing what to do about my MOM's living situation.
The days may run into a big blur. This will be a good time to eat soups and salads plus some fruit. Drink bottled water and take some time to pray to my Heavenly Father for guidance, wisdom, favor and health.
