Last night Danika and I went to the hospital to visit with Grandpa. We had so much fun he had us laughing out loud. He is so cute and has such a fun personality. When we got there he was awake and we went in and he squeezed our hands three times for those of you that don't know what that means it means "I love you" I had taught Grandpa that on Friday, May 8th after he got put on the ventilator. Danika and I have had that signal for years and I am glad we could share it with Grandpa. When we were there we talked about the baby horse in the pasture at the top of our street .It is so cute and I had talked to Grandpa about the horse on Friday, May 1st when he was at St. Marks and he had shared with me that when horses are born there legs are the length they will be for life. I had not know that My Grandpa is full of all kinds of information. We also talked about Danika going to the prom on Saturday and he shook his finger at her like he was saying "you better behave yourself" and then she showed him her nails that she had gotten done and the glitter that was on them. I am so honored to be able to be there for my Grandpa I have learned alot about him over this hospital stay. Grandpa loves to have his feet rubbed I rubbed them and he put his head back and had a big grin on his face. I told him I don't rub every one's feet and he spelled out on his board " You spoil me" and I told him he deserved it. He also likes his eye drop so I try to put them in for him each day. We also talked about his nurse Nelson that he was glad that he didn't have anymore. He called him 24/7 and Bad Carma.
when we talked about Nelson Last night Grandpa acted out what Nelson would do and he was acting like he was looking around the corner and then waving I guess Nelson would always look in on Grandpa and wave. We laughed when Grandpa did it. It was Hilarious I wish we had a video camera. I was also telling him how this new room he was in was so much nicer than the ICU it looks more like a hotel room with his flat screen TV and all the latest technology and he started acting like he was playing a violin first a big one then a little one. Again we were laughing. Before we left I asked Grandpa could we do anything for him and he poked my arm and Danika said "Does that mean shot" and he shook his head Yes and I said " What do you want a shot of " and he spelled out on his board Morphine and I said to him I thought for sure you would have said Bourbon( I will share a bourbon story later) or Tequila and he shook his head yes like those would be good too. I told him I bet you have the song Jose cuervo in your head and he smiled. As we left Grandpa squoze our hand again and we told him we love him and would see him tomorrow.
I have lots more stories that I can't wait to share. My cute little Grandpa is a great man.
