10:29p.m.
Hi Everyone,
Well, my son Nick and I went to see Uncle Mike today. He was pretty down but I think that having Nick there really helped boost his spirits. We got to Ann Arbor about 12:30pm and I thought we’d leave by 3pm but we never left until 5:30. It was a long day and we drove through two terrible rain storms on the way home but we got home safe!!
We did get Mike to go out and walk the unit. He walked two times around with both of us and then he and Nick walked two more times. When we returned to his room there was a canvas bag on his bed that had wonderful art supplies in it. Mike and I talked about why he quit being an artist years ago and why it would be great if he could once again use his wonderful talents!! Just for a creative outlet. Please pray that he will use the supplies – he seemed interested.
His hair is coming out now and so I combed it for a long time today to help get all the loose hair out. I wish I would have brought my clippers but I didn’t so if he still has some hair next visit I’ll take them along.
Mike, Nick and I had a good day today. We read his cards and laughed and talked. I was so glad that he seemed to feel better as the day went on. The nurses thanked Nick and me for coming and for what we did for Mike. We just did that family thing!!! That’s what’s most important.
Well, I am very tired and am going to bed. Nick has to be up again tomorrow morning to go milk cows at 5:30am. He’s going to be tired.
Take care and keep up the prayers. Thank you all soooooo much!
Love, Ann
