That was pretty fun. Diane wheeled Riza outside in front of the hospital, where she could get a little sun and some time with a furry little dog.
I was trying to look closely and see how much Riza recognized Skylark. I couldn't really tell. But she was enthralled and did not want to stop petting her. I asked "do you want to give her at treat?" Riza nodded yes, stuck out her hand, and gently held it out for Sky.
We asked if the sun was too much. It was also very windy. No she was quite happy to stay out. I think she really did have fun.
We will discover what she keeps and what she does not, but I have hope. Troy, one of the nurses who helped bring her out, is a jazz fan so I told him that Skylark was named after the song. He mentioned Django Reinhart and Riza threw a big thumbs-up sign. As long as she remembers the gypsy great, we'll be okay.
I am not always sure she remembers me but, then again, Django was a much better guitar player...
