When Chad and I arrived on Saturday night we found Grandpa up watching TV with his glasses on what a difference from the night before. We had so much fun Sid had drawn a picture of the Truck and trailer with Property as the Goal Chad added some to the picture by adding Grandma by the trailer with a caption over her head that said"Dee" Grandpa liked that. We went thru our regular routine Nice cold wet cloth for his head, eye drops for his eyes,a good old fashioned foot rub, and lip moisture for his lips I have to not tease Grandpa about his lip moisturizer one day when he was in the ICU I told him it was red lip stick the next time we tried to put it on him he wanted to see the tube first. I am sure he doesn't want us dolling him up. Chad had said to Grandpa when we had first got there "Grandpa you look handsome" I said " Watch out Grandpa Chad said you look handsome"
he put up both fists like he was going to punch Chad. I love to see Grandpas fun personality come out even though he can't talk he sure can communicate. When a nurse I haven't met yet comes in Grandpa points to me and mouths "this is my Granddaughter" and then I introduce myself to the nurse or doctor that comes in. We had brought Grandpa a gift that says "Wordls Greatest Grandpa" he seemed to like it. He had a fun nurse that night her name was Melissa she was fun and spunky Grandpa seems to do better with the fun Nurses and of course he doesnt mind them being cute either. We teased him about getting kisses from the nurses.
I was talking to Grandpa about pulling weeds earlier in the day and how obnoxious the crab grass can be he was agreeing with me and Chad said oh sure when she tells you she worked hard you sympathize with her, but last night I told you I worked hard all week and you played me a little violin . Grandpa smiled and put both of his hands on his hips just like what Chad was doing while he was talking to Grandpa. We all laughed.
Grandpa is great with his had gestures I have found myself using them. He has Hi ,Bye,thumbs up and down, O.K. and a new one I have stated blowing him kisses when I go and he blows kisses back.
We talked to Grandpa about Danika being at the dance and how nervous she got when Connor got here to pick her up. We told him we would bring pictures up tomorrow. He seems to really like when Danika comes to visit.
