Too bad: Crystal's unfortunate action

As they say!  You almost always reap what you sow.  Or to look at it in a different way? Be honest in all you do!

This did not apply to poor Crystal, one of Mom’s care givers. In short, she did not tell her boss or us that she was 8 months pregnant and this is an absolute  must. Especially so for a care giver.

Mom had noticed it on this particular morning and then my sister in law confirmed it about an hour later.

We would never know why Crystal chose this path, but at the end of the day she could easily have brought harm to herself.

Precious time: Another birthday for Mom

 

Each birthday for Mom is going to be bigger than the previous one! Why? Because she is inching closer to the biggest one!

For this year, we celebrated in the way that she always likes. First breakfast with me.  Moya brought her favourite omelette  and waffles. It was a huge meal but she enjoyed it all!

Then a lovely lunch with Jeff, Gayle, and Bryan and Moya. It was good and the waiters sang Happy Birthday for Mom.

Then home to have a nice nap! That was her birthday for this year!

Precious little ones! Waiting to say goodbye to the butterflies

 The beauty and mystery about these butterflies is that we never know when they will appear and for how long they will stay. This time when I was visiting Mom they graced us with their presence several times.

They would appear out of the blue and Mom would announce their presence for me. They would fly around us but in total their visit would only last but for a few short minutes.

I cannot see them but I can sure imagine them flying close to us. I have named the main butterfly Josefine.  She is white with brown wings. There is another butterfly and she is a very pale yellow in colour.

Now I wait to say goodbye to them as I prepare to leave Mom.

Such a pleasant person: At home with Mom's dentist

This was a very friendly and interesting visit from Mom’s dentist. She arrived on time and was so very good with Mom.

She was very talkative and friendly. I was at ease with her throughout the visit. I just wish that other dentists were like her.

Such precious memories! Mom in her kitchen

It is such a joy to watch Mom in her kitchen. This is the new way of doing things and I am just so delighted to be part of it.

Mom decides what task she wants to take on for the day. She rises out of her chair and along with her walker she strides to her kitchen with me following. She tells me what she is going to do.

I fetch all of the necessary implements, bowls, cutting board, and then I wait patiently for the next step. Mom asks me to bring her high chair to her and I do so, positioning it in front of the stove.

Before this, however, I lay out her implements and fetch whatever else she needs. I chop onions and other things as she wants and wash up as we go along.

Finally it is to the stove and I stand guard as Mom cooks and then she asks me to taste. I do so with great enthusiasm and finally she is done. I complete washing up and Mom retreats to her chair to rest and relax.

I replace her high chair and all is now done.

The balancing act: Mom's new care giver

 

I have to say that since her mishap, Mom has been relatively fortunate to have reasonably good care givers. No one is perfect and these ladies continue to do to the best of their abilities. Except for Michelle, the care givers have been acceptable.

Her new care giver is quiet, pleasant, and helps when she is called upon. She offers to help whenever she observes that Mom needs help.

It may not be easy for these care givers to be on the job all day but it is also not easy for Mom who continually needs to ensure that they stay on track.

What a brave boy! Visiting Christian

 This is such a very difficult time for me personally, and why? Despite Christian’s cheerful demeanour, it is so difficult for me to deal with his ordeal. Poor Christian has been battling his illness for over 2 years now.

He never complains and takes everything like a man. Char is so very supportive to him and Mom and I spend the next hour or so chatting with them both. We ask Moya to wait outside with Ramlall.
