the best medicine.............

I made it to see mom today. What a difference a couple of days makes! She looks so much better. And now I feel better.

She'd been eating clear liquid stuff and keeping it down, so they let her order a regular meal. Of all things- she chose spaghetti! For some odd reason it sounded good to her.

This is the first food she's had in three weeks!! She said it felt really strange to have food in her mouth.

Sis showed up with niece and nephew. Nephew walked in with a stuffed monkey for mom. It was really soft and cuddly. Mom was snuggling with it and had it cradled in her arms like a baby when her nurse walked in. Without missin' a beat mom looked up at her and said, "look what I had while you were gone!" The nurse looked and then said, "you know I don't usually say things like this, but that's the ugliest baby I've ever seen!"

They say laughter is the best medicine...................
