Catching up with Mom

It has been a long time since the last post.  As you know, Dad passed away one month ago today.  Many thanks  to everyone for your kindness during that time and for joining in the celebration at his memorial service.  We will not forget him.

I'm posting now, because Mom continues to have ups and downs -- more downs than ups.  She seems to spend most of her time just lying on her bed; no interest in much of anything.  Yesterday was a bit better as Liz got her to the gym(!) and found out that they have been taking her out to sit in the sunroom to read the paper.  Definitely better than lying in bed all day.  However, today she had another fall.  They found her on the bathroom floor -- banged up pretty good, but other than that OK.  Amazing that with all these falls she has not broken anything.

BTW, it was wonderful to have her out with Aunt Bet, Uncle G, and Uncle John Sunday -- bright spot in the month.
