For the last year, my
(Barrett’s) mom, Sandra Brown, has been living in a
memory unit of a nursing home in
Cincinnati. Recently she had a
decline in her health and moved to
the skilled nursing area.
We have made several short trips to be with her over the last few months. Last week I spent 3 days with her helping my siblings figure out what she needs and how to make her most comfortable. Recently her frustration has led her to act a bit contrary to her caregivers, but she is improving. As we move around the home, she is always looking to greet people and be kind.
My sister just texted us that she has had a good day, doing well with her physical therapy, including walking. We all are glad for every good day!
I enjoyed that she used my name twice while I was with her. That's something I had not heard in a while. She will say it on her own, but if you ask her directly, she can't say it. Please pray for her comfort and for wisdom as we care for her.
