Laura is so very beautiful. Such a class act that we won’t be seeing for the next 4 yrs! :(
Breath of fresh air.
UPDATE ON DAD
On the whole a fairly good day. They got dad out in the chair for about an hour and a half which is not bad for a weekend as they are very short staffed especially this close to Christmas at the weekend with people scheduled to work crying off at the last minute but at least he was washed and ready to go in the chair when I arrived today unlike yesterday when they were totally rushed off their feet and some patients were not washed before midday.
Dad ate the mashed banana with cream and sugar I took in plus 2 children size small pots of yogurt. Also 4 strawberries and half a bowl of custard and apple. Dad also drank 2 and half mugs of milk plus almost half a pint of orange juice and several glasses of lemonade. I think he drank so much he was not hungry and felt full. He did manage 2 tablespoon of smoked salmon that I took in.
Tomorrow I am going to tempt him with egg mayonnaise with smoked salmon mixed in plus strawberries and cream.
I am also going to try mashing a banana with one of the resource drinks and sprinkling a lot of sugar on top and see if he will eat that.
Dad also did ask for a cup of coffee when I went and bought one during the afternoon and in fact drank half of mine he also asked me to bring in more strawberries and put some cream over them tomorrow and even suggested he might try a sausage roll. So I think he is beginning to show an interest in food again which is a good sign. Also without prompting he will either help himself or ask others to help him to drink as the day progresses he does tire and so like me to just steady the mug or cup or glass for him.
I noticed today he less worried about drinking though and even tried a little water and did not panic about choking with it which he had before. So I know he will drink if I am not there.
He also apologised today that maybe he does not always say please and thank you so I think that again is a good sign that he is feeling a bit better and not so focused on himself.
Prayers really that we can boost his interest in savoury food and build up his strength to get him more mobile. Post Reply | Private Reply | To 178 |
You two were 2nd and third. MamaB was first; she is on a roll, 4 toasters in a row!
Short answer: A Daily Dose of W.
This thread was started by rintense shortly after W became our President in 2001. It has gradually evolved into a Sanity Island thread; where W lovers come and no nasty comments or BDS posts are tolerated. We simply want to revel in this presidency-the man and the historical aspect.
Here is another graphic from there:
What an awesome collection of photos for today!
I really love when President & Laura Bush have stuff to do like this and they are smiling. They look wonderful!
Laura Bush’s dress is beautiful, and what a lovely color for her.
Thank you so much for dose, you do wonderful work!
Wonderful! Thank you!
We’ve really lucked out with good photos for a few days now. Enjoy it while we can...
He and Laura will make super grandparents.
Agreed. I think the Army-Navy game really revved W up. He got a great reception there, from those he cares about the most, and it put a big smile on his face that has not worn off yet!!
You’re welcome, lysie.
Thanks for the update on snugs’ father. Know she is worried about him.
You betcha!
LOL! What a face the President is making in that next to last photo! I wonder if one of the kids had made a funny face at him, and he’s returning it?
