Too busy & too late to be blogging

But I wanted to share the news that the BSU is beginning to turn the corner. She's still shaky and easily confused but she's getting better. I know so because she is begining to complain about the food, the crazy people around her, and her need for toothpaste and deodorant.

We have had two very good visits in the past two nights. Last night she was able to clearly spell out to me the things that she felt needed to change in her very small environment of the hospital wing she is in. So we talked and came up with a plan that today she would express the same concerns and requests to the charge nurse. She got to see her social worker first though and she used the opportunity to make her request for toothpaste known as well as the other things discussed the night before.

And she got what she asked for!

Tonight's visit was a small celebration of this simple improvement in her health. We talked about lots of things including what name she wants to be called by the grandson who is due in January. She has put lots of thought into this question! we also discussed what I want to be called by a grandson, (Old grouchy bastard has been ruled out) and she expressed interest in a pastoral visit which I will arrange tomorrow.

And now I'm going to bed!
