Sorry i haven't posted since the 14th.Asiah's Party was on Saturday and everyone knows how that is preparing and everything takes days and the clean up does also.I wasn't even on the internet. So here's the 411. Mom is doing great she eats but very little. Friday we had some drama with our catholic church so mom will now be using the Baptist pastor who she met through Odyssey to help her with her religious needs. He's really nice by the way and that's all mom wanted to do just talk.

We had Asiah's party on Saturday it turned out good even though it rained all in all everyone had a great time. Mom ate some of my homemade steamed Spanish rice with a little potato and crab salad and some marinated steak and pork chop. She finished it too.:-) She stayed in the room through out the party but she had everyone visit her. Hector's mom and grandmother stayed and talked to mom in the room. Grandma Chele came and talked to mom for a while. Mom asked if her if Grandpa Chuy can come and give an estimate on the porch ...lol. Other than that, mom takes her medicine every day at 7:30 am and 7:30 pm like clockwork. She doing very good and only some times she doesn't want to take her morphine pill but i have to explain to her that if she doesn't take it she will hurt. But she eventually listens and talked it. She being more cooperative and less ANGRY.
So dad when you come don't keep asking her questions, when she wants something she can ask for it. Or if it's been awhile just go in and talk to her then ask before you leave the room if she needs anything. The nurse said don't take all the control away from her you need to let her keep some because if you do she'll start giving up and we don't want that. I've been doing just that. But i still keep my hawk eyes on her listening to her through the baby monitor. I'll help mom get up into the seated position so she can get ready to go to the restroom. When she stands up I'm still there but i won't touch her unless i see her wobble.I will follow her in the bath room and help her sit so she won't just PLOP on the toilet. I'll help her up too. I just follow her because i don't want her to feel like she can't do anything without help. I want her to feel independent still because that's how she is. It's hard for her to accept the fact that she does need help but she is asking more and I love it.....
Over all our weekend went great.
