The joy in my heart...


  •  Guess who had her first outing in my car in 10 months, since double pneumonia and infected gallbladder in August, the fall out of her wheelchair on her head in September, C-Diff in October, UTI going round the bend in Jan..More C-Diff...but she is still here and she is 91...Yeah Alice Franzen Clemons Burt!!!  Unbelievable..she was so clear minded today.  Two staff members lifted her into my car.  She couldn't swallow much..two bites...but loved it.  She didn't remember the neighborhood lake we always ate by..but she loved it.  Her voice was a Parkinson's whisper, but her eyes sparkled with joy:)  My heart....
    Her first outing in 10 months...
    Great attitude as always!
    Great attitude as usual..

So great your mom can still get out with you once in a while. she looks so colorful in her lovely teal blue outfit and love that red scarf she is wearing with it. The green pillow behind her is a great accent to the photo's composition as well! Thanks for reading my post about Jean Wells. Absolutely LOVED her class.

Boy, do I know how good that outing must have felt for your mom. She looks so sweet. What tremendous obstacles she has over come.
