Thank you to all of you have visited Terrie these last two weeks; your visits have helped her a lot, and she is so grateful for all the support you've all shown her. Since she's not on a morphine drip, and the anesthetic from the surgery is now out of her system, Terrie really enjoys your visits.
She's gradually accumulating quite a store of gifts and sundries, thanks to your thoughtful gifts. When I was visiting her the other day, she'd sent her supervising captain (from work) out to find her some cotton swabs and popsicles. Her good friend Nancie brought her a green feathered boa scarf for St. Patrick's Day. Elidia contributed an inspirational book of prayers. Several other people have brought her small puzzles, word finder books, and other things to do. But I think what she enjoys most are your visits, because there's some interaction and she can hear what you're doing and what's happening with all of you.
Yesterday morning the staff at Mabie Northside met with Terrie and her family to chat and see how Terrie felt about the care she has been receiving. This was a routine meeting, one that is given to all new residents at Mabie Northside. When I saw Terrie last night, she was quite pleased; she'd had a shower for the first time in a few days. We certainly miss those "small" pleasures when we're deprived of them, don't we?
Grandma Juanita and Auntie Deon will be leaving on Sabbath to go home, as Marisa will be leaving to visit her dad for spring break.
Should you post comments on this blog, I'll print them and take them to Terrie so she can see them. God bless!
Under His mercy,
Marty
