Are we ready for the upcoming week? What will it bring?

Dear Friends and Family,
Well our sunday is winding down. Nan is sleeping after a big excursion which included getting her totally dressed in street clothes, heading down 7 floors to outside air and breezes. After she sat there in the wheel chair watching the pidgeons and enjoying just being outside we came back in to the AuBon Pan where she and Sharon chose a roast beef sandwich, peach ice tea and some peta chips. Then we headed back up to our luxury suite where Nan put back on her jonnie, Sharon tucked her in so she would be warm and she is now asleep. Sharon meanwhile being tired after walking all over again today buying goodies like playing cards, new reading glasses for Nan (they are so cute) and assorted other items is reclined in the chair reading with poor light from the closed blinds on the window. She looks cute with her reading glasses at the tip of her nose and stretched out with a towel wound into a ball behind her head. She has been very helpful and her presence is much appreciated.
This afternoon I used the card that Dana left me to do my laundry. Dana explained to me how to do laundry, not an easy process. To do the laundry you have to have a guy from our hotel walk you over to a special elevator which serves the apartments which go up to the 25th floor. You tip him and he lets you into the elevator and then you stay put until the laundry is done. The actual laundry room is hot HOT H O T but there is a lovely place in the hall by the elevators where AC blows cold, of course you have to stand there with no chair if you want the air. I sat on the floor nearby and read some in my book while the washers slowly did their job, then there were no dryers available but several had stopped and were full of clothes, so tempting to remove them but I'm not willing to make someone upset so I waited until one became available. I hour later the clothes were dry and I folded them and headed back down to the room. Then Nan was calling wondering where I was so I walked quickly back in the very hot and humid temp. to find her ready to go for the ride and to get dressed. It was a wonderful event, to see her dressed, hair done, nails done and she looks so hot. What a total cutie!
First time in clothes in 42 days, now that is something to live with.
We have a partial idea what is to come tomorrow. They will remove the vac sponge and replace it with a smaller one and the doctors are considering allowing Nan to have a swallow test with barium to see if there is anything physically wrong with her ability to swallow food. She often complains of it hanging in her throat. Our big objective for tomorrow is to make the move to Youville. I will believe it when I see them put her into the ambulance to transport her over. I just hope everything goes smoothly.
It is very easy for Nan to get cold right now but she cannot take the weight of the blankets they have here so Sharon is trying different things to get her warm. She put a bengay patch on her neck but that ended up being too cold so now Nan has a towel behind her head to warm it up. Then Sharon put a blanket over the AC / heater outlet, that should be interesting!!
I'm going to put my head back for a nap soon, this chair sleeps pretty well I think. I'm tired, late nights and early morning calls tend to catch up with a person after all.
What have you been doing today? I hope you enjoyed the sun, did chores and spent some good time with your family. Have you ask God for His blessings for you today, they may come in unusual ways, like when Nan feels up to smiling, that is a blessing or all the lights are green going to pick up Sharon, little blessings that make a big difference.
Sharon has signaled across the room that she is ready to go explore her new Bed and Breakfast called the Friendly Inn.
Please have a nice evening and lets all have a very good week. Our daughter Nikki is flying somewhere this week for training for her work. We hope she has a good week and a safe one.
To all we send our love and appreciation.
Please pray that Nan's digestive system will slow down and that she can continue to be stronger and stronger each day.
love to all
tim and nan and sharon
