Word of the Day...TREAT












Mom has had a few "slow" days since the doc started lowering her Keppra, although it is to be expected, so when I got to Baybrooke this morning, I was pleased to see mom still in the PT room and then walking, with a walker & a therapist, down the hallway. There is a salon at Baybrooke, so after PT, we skooted down so mom could get a mani/pedi. The gals name is Charlene, and I gotta tell ya, she went beyond the call of duty (notice she is on the floor doing mom's pedicure). Here are some photos of the event, mom had a good time! What girls doesn't like being pampered? It's been awhile since she's had a treat like this. I'll keep y'all posted how long it takes before she "bites" the polish off her finger nails. If you're wondering what happened in the last photo, check it out: After mani/pedi I tucked mom in for her afternoon nap. I purposely left her feet uncovered so they could dry some more. I ran down the hall to grab my celli and drink and when I returned, mom is still laying in bed, but she has crossed her feet! Ugh, I was gone like 2 minutes, so I fixed it, but didn't have nail polish remover to get the smeared polish off her foot and of course Charlene was "gone to lunch" so I guess I'll take care of that tomorrow! And yes, I did pick out the polish for her toes, she calls it a "Sandy" color and I say Yay, everyone needs a little "Sandy" in their life!

Sweet dreams!
