We attempted to make some marshmallow treat eggs that I had seen on TV - they didn't look exactly like the example, but they were easy to make and we had a good time doing it. Abbie took it very seriously. Abbie loves to cook so I try to have her help with supper or make something special when she is here.
Another reason I love GiGi days is Dad is always in a good mood when Abbie is here. I told her when she came in that he was in the "Grumpy Face Club" and she immediately went over and started loving on him. When he smiled she said, "See GiGi, he smiled for me. Now he's in the "Happy Face Club"!" She has always been so sweet and loving to Poppa. Her Mom works with special needs kids and it has taught her a wonderful gift of acceptance even at 4 years old.
Poppa is in his "down cycle" right now. This one seems to be lasting longer than usual. Everyday I wonder, is this the new norm? He is having many spasms/tremors which make it difficult for him to stand, eat and even sleep. The big problem for Mom is the sleeping. She insists on being right beside him all night while he is awake grunting, groaning and jerking. She doesn't sleep in the same bed, he's in a hospital bed, but she is close enough to reach out and touch him during the night. We give him Trazadone to try to calm him down but on his bad nights, it won't work. I worry he is going to get so tired that he ends up having a heart attack or stroke.
I am going to head off to watch the Tarheels...G'Night all.
Be kind and make good decisons!
