Here's what I've been up to... I don't think I ever even talked about Mom's surgery. She had a torn miniscus in her right knee. She had surgery on March 18th. She should've gone in and gotten it taken care of sooner, it was originally injured on Dec. 17th. She kept putting it off, because of all of her many responsibilities. It ended up that the tear was larger than they thought, and that because of the damage she got arthritis in her knee that got pretty bad. She went to choir 3 days later, even though she wasn't supposed to. She's doing pretty well now. She's pretty sore this week, but she's continuously getting better.Look what We Made...
hOmEMaDe DoNuTs!!!
I haven't been posting anything for a while. I was dumb and broke my internet card, so I haven't had much access, except for running to Amy's or Collin's, so life has been pretty busy. Mom had surgery on her leg. She's still in a lot of pain, but hopefully on the mend. I've been working out a lot, and have lost 18 lbs. in 4 weeks. I'm pretty excited about that! So, there you go. I'm looking forward to conference. I have tickets to Saturday morning's session. Anyways, hope everyone is doing well.
Yesterday, my cousin Ashley brought up her baby, Ember to meet Grandma Mamie. Ember is Grandma's first great-great grandbaby. Grandma goes in and out of responding to people. She's generally sleepy midday, so I didn't have much hope for her to even be awake. She was bent up in her wheelchair, like she does when she's sleeping, but her eyes were open, not wide, but still open. Ashley put the baby seat right next to Grandma on the floor, and Grandma's eyes just opened up. She kept just looking at her, and mumbling. She's not a loud talker, anymore, if she's going to talk at all, you really have to listen. Anyways, I caught that she was saying "Baby" and just looking at her. While the rest of us (Darlene, Terri, Erikka, Ashley, me) were chatting, I noticed that Grandma was reaching for the baby. To have her aware is such an amazing thing, but to have her trying to touch her was really neat. So, Ashley and Darlene held up her chair and she held her hand and just kept her hand on her. After they put the chair down, she put her hand on the handle, and I helped her rock her for a while. It was so cute, and brought tears to my eyes!
Five generations... amazing!
