Mother is doing well in the Pioneer Home. She seems quite happy each time we go to visit and really loves having company. She is still confused and doesn’t really know where she is or how she got there. But the people at the home take good care of her, and she has quite a few friends who stop by on a regular basis to check in on her. Sometimes she doesn’t know who I am specifically but always knows I’m family and that I love her, so that is good enough for me.
I stopped by the other day, along with Kelly, Katy, Henry and Eloise. She had been sitting out in the hallway, so I just pulled up some chairs and joined her there. She likes to survey all the goings-on from the windows in front of her room: they are replacing the roof on the building, so there are construction workers crawling all over the place. It keeps her very busy supervising the whole project!
I try to bring her a few items to decorate her room with each time I go, as she does love to decorate and also loves “stuff”. It not only gives her something to do, but also I think reminds her of “home” and helps her to feel safer and more comfortable. I am heading back there on Wednesday this week to have dinner with her – I will have to think of something I can bring her this week.
