A change on Christmas

This is not the type of Christmas that I had imagined we would have with Mom.  I expected that Mom would probably sleep through Shannon and I opening presents and then we would sit with her while she opened hers and then have breakfast together.  Wellllllll...... this is the way it went.  Shannon and I got up at 7:00 and tip toed around.  We had the baby monitor on for awhile but, there was no sound other than breathing from her room.  In the middle of opening our gifts Mom came out and went to the bathroom.  When I went in with her she showed no interest in joining us for the gift opening festivities.  Later I went to her room to get her up and she refused.  She acts like she is crying when you try and have her do something she doesn't want to do.  So her bedroom door has been open, my dog Nova has been in to visit a few times but Mom is still lying in bed.  It is now 1:45pm.  She is very contentedly lying there looking around her room and talk to some unknown.  Hospice told me this would happen at times.  I must say it has been very relaxing and "quiet".  Mom is quite a handful!

I am glad you started this blog, Bonnie. I'm even more glad you have decided to take on this enormous task. I hope it brings you comfort in sharing the tribulations you endure daily. I feel for you and I'm not sure I'd be so brave.
