Gram has been transfered from the hospital back to the home she’s been living in for the past year and a half and they’ve signed her up for hospice care.

Funny thing is, she’s actually doing a bit better. Her color is better, she feels fine and her numbers appear better.

I don’t think this means she’s going to be okay, just that we may get a few extra weeks with her from the looks of things. My aunt and I were discussing all this the other day and both agreed its all the extra visits and attention. We’re all getting her to eat better, to drink more and she’s thriving on all the company.

I couldn’t count the number of times we’ve nearly lost Gram in the last 20 years, something like 6 or 7, and somehow she manages to surprise us again. I’m planning to go see her again tomorrow, perhaps stay for a couple of hours, and take advantage of the extra time I’ll get to have with her. I’m bringing some of my Geneaology research so I can see if she has some more names, dates or stories rattling around for me.

Thanks Marg for your kind words, sorry to hear about your mother.

Knitting wise, I’m still sticking to baby stuff and I’m thinking other than the baby gift blanket I’m doing next is going to be something for the Afghans for Afghans Mother’s day campaign. Seems like an appropriate project for now.

Toddler and I had a stomach bug this week, suspect we picked it up at the nursing home where gram is, feeling better now . . . but didnt’ get out all week. He’s going to be raring to go by tomorrow.

Off to do some laundry ;)
