Dressed to the Nines

Day 32-Well we survived getting everyone ready for Easter service. My husband and I left for Sunday school and left the girls to get their grandmother ready for church. When we left she was pacing back and forth from the bathroom to her bedroom trying to get her bath and decide if she had clothes to wear -----because it is Sunday isn't it?

My husband and I were sitting in church waiting for them to get there. I looked up and saw my oldest daughter and her grandmother right behind her. It was great---she had on her new outfit and looked very stylish. She was smiling behind her big black sunglasses and seemed to be thrilled she was in the company of her two granddaughters. The only hiccup the girls had in getting her ready was getting her to button up her jacket---she wouldn't though. We decided she was worried about her "hump" showing so if it was unbuttoned she felt better.

For the first time in a while, she seemed very comfortable at church. The last time she attended with us she slept or at least nodded off and seemed very antsy. Today she took communion whereas the last time she said her back hurt too much for her to stand up. She sang and said the Lord's prayer ---quite loudly at one point that my daughter got a little tickled.

It was a good day. Quality of life can be obtained even when you have FTD.
