Good Day
Of course, the speech is the high point of the day. But there were several others.
- There is a dentists' suction tube to clean her mouth after coughing. The nurse showed me how to use it. I did a couple of times and asked once "More suction?" She waved her hand in a "no-more" gesture as if I were offering somebody a third piece of cake.
- Very distinct nods for yes and no, clearly making her self known
- The third time I was suctioning, she reached up with her hand to do it herself. (That's Riza!) Every time after I would grab it and she would do it herself.
- She waved goodbye to people leaving today, and flashed "I love you" signs many times. She sees my sign and returns it. I was not sure about her vision before seeing this
- She was looking at me intently. I offered suction? Move your pillow? (I really don't have a big arsenal here...) Then I said "How about I just love you forever?" To which she gave a thumbs-up sign.
Did I mention that I had a pretty good day? April 6, 2005.
