Mother is Amazing

Mother has been here in Texas in a nursing home near my brother for almost a year. Phil and Maribeth have been so faithful about visiting her every day.

She's really had some ups and downs along the way. It appears that she might not be able to walk again but she does receive therapy to keep her limber. Phil has worked closely with the doctor and it seems they have tweaked her meds to a nice mellow balance.

She is amazingly clearheaded and knew me immediately. They just had her to the doctor to have her ears cleaned and she seems to be hearing better than she has in a long time.

She is getting good care at Pleasant Manor and this is, no doubt, affected by Phil and Maribeth's daily visits. I really appreciate and admire their dedication. Also, Mother's Southern manners come through and she always thanks people who do something for her.


Mother is like the energizer bunny who takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. We hope she will continue to be peaceful in her surroundings.
