Hello From Rockville
This AM DeeAnn called and wished us a Happy Anniversary and there were two cards taped to the hall door, aren't special days fun?
I went into the VA to meet with the dementia support group, there were only three of us and two facilitators, a very small group. The meeting is an hour long so at two I joined Harlan and we went to Perkins for our treat, he had a grilled cheese sandwich and I had a cup of soup and we both had coffee. Harlan was having a hard time today one reason was I didn't answer the phone while I was at the meeting and I think he felt abandoned. After getting back from Perkins we laid down and talked about a lot of things, pets he had, how it was growing up, things we had etc. I think he was feeling okay when I left. About 4:30 Pastor and Mrs. Campbell stopped to see Harlan, brought a card and some beautiful tomatoes. They are so encouraging and upbeat. Pastor read scripture and Mrs. Campbell prayed, a nice end to a good day. Harlan enjoys seeing them and is comfortable giving him a hard time.
My day ended with a call from Becky, she told me Luke is doing well in school and seems to be adjusting to going to school, a big step for him. Pray that school goes well for him and it's not too difficult for him to handle.
That's about it until tomorrow.........Fran
I think it's great that Harlan can remember things in his past, like pets, and have a conversation.
