We figured out today that the nurses wake, check, and turn mama every hour, on the hour, so we did well today, only telling mama hello, telling her how well we were told she is doing, and assuring her Dr. Jones once again has her on the mend, all without waking her unnecessarily which would get us ejected from her room I guess. Other than that, she slept all day long.
So tonight Jim and I waited until 8 and hiked on down to the ICU, and she was getting niced up so we waited a bit. We read her 3 cards, and I told her nurse her hearing aid battery was dead. The nurse immediately started talking so she could hear her, and Mama answered her appropriately. Heather is such a Charming nurse, I know she loves nursing! I told Mama we would bring a battery tomorrow, and she said "Don't lose it."
I told her I would put it in a paper cup. Mama smiled--"Well, don't drink it! She chuckled and said "Remember the stone out of your engagement ring disappeared, maybe thats what happened. We all laughed. That happened 35 years or so ago!
We told her we were heading for Susan's, and she bid us good night and smiled, and added "Don't hit any of those Running 'stumps'! We promised we would dodge the stumps!
Is this number 6 or number 7?
Good night to all of you, also.
Sharon
