Tania has especially enjoyed Christmas this year as she has little to no recollection of her trip home from the hospital for a few hours last Christmas. Shortly after arriving back at Craig Hospital last year at this time, she fell and had to spend more time in surgery and intensive care. She continues to have low stamina, but she will rally when the mail arrives with additional Christmas cards. She is doing a good job of reading on her own with very little assistance, but it is usually with her left eye closed as she is still having problems with double vision. We hope to get her glasses back this week with the third set of lens as we attempt to dial in on the appropriate vision correction solution.
Another sure-fire way for Tania to rally is for her granddaughter Saydie to come for a visit. Last week Tania and her care-giver went Christmas shopping and came home with a large box containing a car that they expected me to assemble. I finally accomplished the task on Christmas Day after approximately four hours of wrestling with plastic parts that refused to be assembled per the instructions. Yesterday as the family gathered together to celebrate Christmas, everyone got their turn at pushing Saydie in her new "ride".
