Brian and Stacy (and kids) came down from Michigan to spend some time with their Grandma/ Great Grandma today. It was so nice to see them all again. Their kids are getting so big! I think Mom was pretty alert today and her appetite was better today. Stacey came armed with boxes of Grandma's favorite crackers, three jars of unsweetened applesauce, fresh cut pineapple and four little containers of blueberry applesauce for a special treat. Dan and Lyn stopped in for a bit to bring some needed things from Mom's apartment and brought Mom's dog, Holly, for a visit.
Michael and Emily (and kids) arrived around noon. So very much fun to have more people come! Emily was kind enough to pick up some medications for Grandma at the pharmacy. She also is lending me a baby monitor so that I can finally sleep in my own bed, instead of on the couch, so that I can hear when Mom gets up in the night.
We sat around the kitchen counter and nibbled on tasty snacks while giggling and chatting as only four generations of women/girls do. I can't believe how much mom ate just snacking away!
.... Four Generations.... wow, that descriptive phrase just put a lump in my throat.

Cory and Abbey (and kids) arrived last. Though they got there last, Abbey still found plenty of time to give Grandma a loving foot massage. She really liked that...and so did Abbey!
Shortly after lunch, everyone left and I tucked Mom into her bed for a little nap. She gets tired pretty easy but all in all, today was one of her better days that she has had in a while. She has always loved having her kids, grandkids and great grandkids around and today was no different.
The afternoon was quiet but when evening rolled around, Abbey and Cory came back to spend the night before heading back to PA.
Finally, Mom is tucked into bed until tomorrow when we start our day all over again! Say a prayer that she sleeps all night!
