Sleepy Grammy

Poor Ruthie. She was having a bad day..or so everyone thought. First her granddaughter was concerned because all morning and Early afternoon all Ruthie wanted to do was doze in her chair. Tammy could not wake her up to eat any breakfast or lunch. She didn't even want tea! The her aide came and she was real concerned because Ruth wouldn't wake up and she said she looked so pale. When I got there the aid told me she slept all day and would not eat at all and she just woke her up to try to get her to eat some dinner but she refused and started to mumble incoherently. She did drink some juice for the girl tho. So now I thought she would wake up a little and be hungry in a while. But nope she fell back to sleep She didn't want anything not even ice cream which she never refuses!!! So I figured let her sleep I was not spending the night anyway so I didn't care! Plus usally on my shift when she is awake sometimes she talks non stop the whole time. So this was a nice break! Around 8 o'clock Ruth bolted up right in the chair and as clear as a bell said "I've got to get to bed I am so tired!!" She started to take her clothes off in the chair so I went and got her night gown and changed her right in her chair. it is like dressing a BIG toddler! then she got up no problem and walked with her walker really fast to her bedroom and got right into bed. I figured she would probably wake up part way thru the night to start her day. Again I was glad I was out of there at 10ish. And at 10 Joanne showed up to relieve me. I got home and within 10 minutes Joanne called.....No nothing was up with granny..but Joannes daughter just had a baby and was having major complications and Joanne had to go back into the hospital so I headed back over to stay with grandma! Great I thought lets see how this goes. Surprise she slept thru the night woke at 7:15 and was alert and very coherent. She got dressed had some toast and sat at the table looking at old magazines. Nice! Joanne came back to get her at 8:30 to take her to daycare where they give her a big breakfast. I guess she ate very well there and stayed awake all day. Oh an Joanne's daughter Kelly is fine... she is going to stay a few extra days tho..and she had a boy whom she named Patrick Henry. There you go Sarah.. There is the name for your new boy character. Patrick Henry then cal him Hank...cause his dad was a Patrick too!!!
