Last week at Nana's check up at the doctor's office, she weighed 110 pounds! This is real progress as she had gotten as low as 102 pounds in the past year. When I took her to the doctor a few months ago, she was 104 pounds so that 6 pound gain is major progress. I asked her if she held her purse because it weighs about 4 pounds, but she said, "No, they wouldn't let me." I'm very happy with the additional pounds as it gives her more stamina.
Another difference I have seen in the past six months is that she gets hungry. She's ready for her pancake and coffee in the morning and when I talk to her in the afternoon she's ready for beans or toast. That is an encouraging sign.
As we see Uncle John's illness, it's a reminder that things can change quickly. But for now, I'm celebrating those six pounds!
