Supper
was soooo good!!! My little mama loves fried chicken. So I fried chicken...and
we had rice and cream gravy, and English peas. We were too full to eat the
homemade apple crisp. Man, was it ever good!!! So glad I joined a gym.... gonna
need it just to maintain my overweight status. :)

Oh, my goodness! I am going to have to
SERIOUSLY exercise daily to avoid a huge weight gain. Cooking - and eating - a
lot. But you should see how much my little mama is eating! Breakfast: 1 egg, 1
sausage patty, a small helping of grits, 1 and a half pieces of toast with
grape jelly. She's on her 2nd cup of coffee. Much stronger than this time last
week!

Soooo pleased with my mom's progress.
Eleven days ago, she walked 5 feet, her legs gave way, and she collapsed into
my arms. She needed help with everything. Fast fwd to this morning.... She
walked out of her bedroom, fully dressed (and matching...done without
assistance), went to the kitchen and got herself a cup of coffee. Stronger and
less confused by the day. Awesome!

My little mama went to church with us
today! It's a long way from the parking lot to the pew in the sanctuary...but
she did great!!! I think she really enjoyed herself and was so surprised and
pleased with the greetings she received. Then she played with her great
grandchildren. Great day!!

Took my mom to PT. She's at 40% in strength
and endurance. We have room to grow but definitely will get there! PT 2 x a
week plus walking here is a great start.

Oh, my.... I think it is going to be an
interesting (and long) night. My mom didn't believe me when I told her it was
time to go to bed. I helped her get her pj's on, brush her teeth. Then she
says, "What am I supposed to do now?" I said, "Go to bed....it's
almost 10:30." She says, "Ahhhkkk.... I guess if I have to." I
ushered that tiny person into her room and tucked her into bed. Wonder how long
she will stay there....

UPDATE! My little mama had a check-up
today. She has gained 8 pounds since January 9th. Bp, blood work - everything -
looked great. She hoisted herself up in the big Tundra truck. That is no small
feat...especially for someone who, on January 9th, collapsed in my arms after
walking 5 feet. Thank you, Jesus, for her improvement.
