septiembre 1 -- wahoo !!! it's a new month

the day started out in hilarity.... getting mom out of bed and walking to the potty, she said she was gonna lose her pants, but not for a moment did i believe it would really happen-- uh huh, yeppers! down go her soaking wet overnights taking the pants down, too! we stood there and laughed until tears came down our faces.... when we regained composure, i took 'em all the way off and escorted my naked from the waist down mama to the bathroom.... where we broke down again and laughed our patooties off!

as with all things good, not shortly thereafter mom's mood turned south. it wasn't over any particular thing.... as i think back tho, it correlated with dad starting his day with 20 questions. i'm sure the reality came rushing back to her head-- coupled with her own medical issues which take away her independence.

occupational therapy came today for a good couple of hours and that was good for mom.... yet it sent dad scurrying to his room. this is gonna be interesting-- we've got 3 months minimum of house invasions... nurse 1x/week, PT 3x/week and OT 3x/week.

lord, it's all you. you know all our trials. we have faith in you and your timing. amen.
