Vacation
My son and I went to Iowa for vacation during the last week of October. We visited my Mom and her husband for six fun filled days. My brother and his family was there also, making it like a mini family reunion. The only depressing part of the vacation was that my grandfather was in the hospital. He has parkinsons disease, and on top of that, he fell and broke the same hip two different times in a matter of weeks. Shortly after that, he got a severe bladder infection. They moved him from the nursing facility to the hospital, and he just started acting demented. He didn’t want to keep his clothes on, and he thought people were coming to kill him. He had several crying spells…. it was hard to watch. I went with my Mom every morning to visit him while she helped him eat breakfast… I think he enjoyed seeing me. He is now back in the nursing facility and doing better, from what I’ve been told.
