Two days later I am enjoying a nice warm shower when I hear my mother frantically panting. He has since decided to seek comfort elsewhere. Sebastian, our cuddly kitten, was looking for a little TLC. Sure enough there was something alive in her sheets. Aunt Earline then yelled out "No I'm not! There is something ALIVE in my sheets! My mom soothed her and calmed her down and investigated. My mother told her that everything was okay, she was just having a nightmare. It is probably a good thing the arrangement is such because we have had two teeny, tiny mishaps.the first night my mother awoke (about 3:00 am) to Aunt Earline's screams. Now, that is what my mom told me, but secretly I think neither one wants to climb the stairs daily to get to the bedrooms! Who can blame them? Sometimes the stairs get to me. We decided that my mother and Aunt Earline would share a room in case she wanders in the night or might need something. We have certainly had our moments in this new place. It has been good for Aunt Earline to be in a routine. Well, we have moved into our new home and are slowly getting things in place. I can't imagine how hard it is to constantly be in bed. I can only imagine.doesn't every girl feel a hundred times better when her hair is done? Someone mentioned to me today that she might enjoy a good foot rub so I think Cheryl and I will incorporate this in her daily routine. I brush it every evening and she tells me how good it feels. She especially enjoys having her hair brushed lately. It's the moments that she doesn't complain that tend to scare me. I like these moments even though it breaks my heart for her to be uncomfortable. She has been feeling good enough to scold me today for letting her get too cold while I was changing her diapers and pajamas. I am told this is how her brain is able to deal with the ravages of the disease. She does sleep about 98% of the time now. She will generally have one good day where she is somewhat responsive followed by a couple of days where she really isn't responsive. I cannot tell anyone how long she will be with us.
