A Week of Blessings

This has been a rather quiet week. We have been blessed that the temperatures have cooled down making it easier to get to Sheila.

On Wednesday we met with Mt. Ogden HRC’s social worker and other key players in Sheila’s care. They wanted to meet with us since they never had the chance when Sheila first came in. We talked about Sheila’s care plan and how her Primary Care Physician (PCP) wanted her to see her neurologist in Logan. They said they would check into the logistics of it, but could not see any reason why she couldn’t go see him. We are excited that she will be able to see the doctor that she is comfortable with. Now we wait for them to make the appointment and to work out the details of transportation.

Yesterday my Mom came down for the day. She helped take the girls school shopping which they really enjoyed. They treasure their time with grandma. Afterwards we went to the nursing home where Mom was able to visit Sheila. Sheila has really grown to love and appreciate the time she shares with Mom.

Last night Holly went on a photo shoot with Shelly Spencer, a professional photographer. She was so excited you would have thought it was Christmas Eve or something. She said that she learned a lot from watching Shelly work. Holly has started her own photography blog. (Look for the link on the side bar.) Sheila is so happy that Holly has found something that she really enjoys and loves. I believe Sheila’s words were: “She’s good!” I think so too!

Tonight we watched the movie Brian’s Song with Sheila. Yes, I know it is a 35-year-old movie, but still a classic. Sheila seemed to really enjoy it, or maybe because it was only 74 minutes long.
