QUIET DAY

Mom was tired after refusing to nap in the car yesterday (she had to "keep an eye on things to see how they were going"). She napped for a long time this afternoon and was very easy to care for. She has learned her routine and the layout of the house. She does everything slowly except walk, when she gets on her walker it's difficult to keep up with her. My plan for tomorrow is to have mom use her wheelchair only while she's sitting to eat, and have her use the walker to travel. She sits and stands well and today she rolled onto to her side for her nap.

I asked mom if she could brush her own teeth and she said she would try. Then she stuck her toothbrush in her nose. I brushed her teeth for her and she asked me to brush them again, she was certain I had brushed only one side. The right side of her body is weak from the stroke, I'm assuming she couldn't feel anything on that side of her mouth.

Wren and mom played fetch with wren's tennis ball this morning. Mom tired of it before Wren did, of course.
