Grandma showed me the little album of Clara, and while she was flipping through it I asked her what she thought of Amy having another one. She looked surprised and said "Is she pregnant? I didn't know that! Well isn't that just a miracle! Maybe it'll be a boy this time. I hope it's a boy..." I think she is more excited everytime she hears about it! And she just kept talking about how happy Colin looked to be an uncle.
They were both in very good spirits. Papaw grabbed her hand and they shuffled to bed together around 8:00. I don't think Papaw was tired but he knew Grandma was waiting on him.
Love ya!

The Alzheimer's Store - Door Monitor - Door Alarm with Remote Plug-In Alarm Door Alarm
This is actually the one I think would work best. What do you all think?
WIRELESS DOOR ALARM - Magnetic Door/Window Alarm at MyPreciousKid.com
On this site there are 2 different kinds of alarms. One alarms when the doors are opened, the other has a key code that has to be pushed.
Wanted to let you all know that Mommy and Daddy are now getting home health assistance. The nurse came yesterday and checked them both out. Drew blood on Daddy and will come weekly for now. If they get sick or need checked out before her scheduled visit all we have to do is call. This will cut down on their dr. visits especially while the weather is bad. Her name is Jenny and Mommy and Daddy just fell in love with her. Of course Mommy said to call her grandma and I had to take her picture for him. But it was on Ritas camera so I don't have it to post.
Her numbers are posted on the fridge for anyone going up.
The other thing is Mommy got up in the middle of the night Daddy got up to find her and couldn't. He finally found her outside. Rita was sleeping in the basement and heard the commotion and went upstairs. Of course the doors open and then if closed lock behind her. I called home health and a medical supply company to see about getting door alarms and they said to look on the internet. Has anyone ever seen or used any? I found one set at the Alzheimers store on the internet. Let me know if anyone has any other ideas. I thought about putting bolt locks on the doors up high but I think she would try and get them open possibly trying to stand on something. We would only need them on the 3 door at the back I think. This isn't the first time this has happened. But it seems to be happening more frequently. I will post the link for the alarms that I found and let me know what you guys think.
Daddys appetite seems to be improving a little. He is taking the Zofran that Mommy was taking when she fell for the nausea and Rita thinks it is helping. I made macaroni and cheese and took up to them today and they both ate it good. Even said it tasted good! The only problem now is when Rita went to pick up his prescription they said it wasn't covered on his insurance and it would be 400+ dollars. So I guess we will have to work on that.
Addy came up after school and Janet was bringing the kids up to spend the night because we are expecting an ice storm.
Don't forget to email and/or call Mom and Dad on a regular basis.
For the ones that live out of state it would be great if I could put you down on a certain day to call and talk to them.
Amy is doing mondays, David is doing Saturdays. And if you call, try and make it before 6pm as they are usually settled down and getting ready for bed. But you can usually call as early as you want!! Mommy has to get up and fry that egg for breakfast.
Love to all,
Trish
