One last night..

Bonnie's final night at Virginia Mason! I think a combination of 16 days in the hospital and no sleep last night made for a very tired Bonnie. Dad commented she was sleepy all day, and when I showed up she was already passed out. I cleaned up some of her belongings to make tomorrows transition faster, and left her a note and some Wedgwood grown veggies! She woke up briefly and smiled at me, but I am not sure she is even going to remember I was there.

I visited Wedgwood School today. It was definitely hard being there, but everyone is so caring and supportive. Bonnie has a list of people waiting till she gets settled back at home, and then the visitors will come pouring in. I am going to try to set up a calendar on this blog to help organize food deliveries. Jim Spoor mentioned how much they appreciated the dinner deliveries and the relief it brought when they went through a medical mess. So, even though Peter is probably going to complain, I think it's a good thing all around. Mom is also going to need various stimulation activities to keep her mind busy - so if anyone has a craft project or skill they want to teach or be taught, card games to play, puzzles to solve - I think we will try to fit those all in. Gotta keep her brain sharp.

Peter has been working very hard to get the house ready. New hand rails have been put in place all over. He set up a bed on the main floor (no stairs yet for mom) and rearranged some furniture to make more traveling room. I think Mom will be impressed with the changes. I am sure Dad is anxious to have Mom back, and for them to get a routine down.
