When I arrived at the center you were sleeping, you woke up when I spoke to you and stayed awake the rest of the afternoon. It was a beautiful day, 80 degrees and we spent most of the time on the patio. We then went inside and you ate so well for me and drank apple juice. I put your electric shaver in your right hand and guided you to shave your face. At first you resisted but then you calmed down and you put the shaver to your chin and tried so hard to move it around. We will keep trying, I believe you can do it.

PopPop called me at home, he had a scare at 4 in the morning. He had severe pains in his stomach and the chills and could not breathe. I told him to call one of us to come and be with him and not stay by himself. I worry about him so much, especially now Grandma is gone and he is alone. The doctor did blood work and checked his pacemaker and everything seems good. They are thinking it is a virus and bladder infection. We are going to have to keep a closer watch on him but it is hard for Mommy because I am far away and often times I am with you. Thankfully Aun’t Ginny is only 10 minutes away and Uncle Fred is 10 minutes as well
