~Gayle, my mom, and Annette~
Yesterday my mom's best friend Annette invited my mom and her caregiver Gayle over for an afternoon of lunch and "games!" Annette made chicken noodle soup and fresh baked bread which she served with fresh pomegranate jelly she made herself over the weekend! Annette and Gayle played the Wii while my mom watched. They skied, played tennis, boxed, "shot" chickens on the game system...and more! hee hee They had a great time and since the weather was cloudy and dreary, it was a nice day to stay indoors.
Today the Hospice nurse called, and allowed me to ask all the questions I've been concerned about, and he put my mind at ease for the time being. Both the nurses have been so kind, and are very supportive about my mom getting out for a drive or visits when she is able. It is so important to keep living, and living fully for as long as possible!
Thank you Annette and Gayle for making that happen! You are both appreciated more than you will ever know!

All this time I thought Wii was for kids!
Very cool.. on all accounts. I'm glad that your mom is living her life, and that she has wonderful nurses/friends to spend the time with. Sounds like a FABULOUS day!!
Hugs to you all!!
