Grandpa update
Thought I'd pop in for a quickie post. Grandpa Jim's in a nursing home now, which is both encouraging and scary for my grandparents. To Grandma, "Nursing Home" is like a final sentencing, but it's really more for rehab purposes. He's off the IV and is able to eat much more than he could for a while. He'll be doing rehabilitation for at least a couple weeks, I expect. In some ways, he's doing much better, and in others, he's about the same.
This does mean, of course, that Grandma Peggy likely will not be coming to visit for her 80th birthday at the end of the month. I'm terribly disappointed, but I certainly understand. She can't leave Grandpa, even for a few days, if he's not himself yet. Mom says he gets this "lost little boy" look on his face when Grandma's not around, like he misses her more than anything. Their marriage is to be envied for sure. I hope I find that someday.
The other major happening was that Jessica visited last week! I have a whole write-up of her visit planned out in my head, but now I must sleep.
