day 2 in the nursing home

So we went about 9:45 to see gigi this morning.. figured since i was up and the kids had a bath, i had done laundry, swept the kitchen floor and i was dressed and ready to go, we might just as well go. So when we got there gigi was in her wheelchair watching tv/dozing off.. Her roommate i dont think talks so that might be a little wierd for her if she is going to be there for awhile... when we got there we wheeled grandma down to the dining hall and we sat at a table. THEN we discovered that there was a cage in the corner (and NO not for the residents OR my kids!!!) but there were birds in there.. i thought that was just an amazing thing to have there!!! so we sat at a table by the birds and a nice worker brought the kids some crayons and they colored GIGI some beautiful artwork!!! grandma's spirits seem to be a little better today.. im sure everyday it will get better for her.. she had some rough ones in the past.. She said one of the residents bumped into her because she was "in his way" and got her right in the knee!! i told her she should have told him who was boss... We are going there again this afternoon.. So i will update you all again.. and any of you who are close to here and want to visit her.. she is in room 8A.... she would LOVE company.. i think she gets a little bored there.. so i brought her a book and some papers..
