I'm glad this week is just about over. At times it's been tough emotionally but, I've had to keep busy. Sun. evening I visited Kenn for almost 4 hours. He was so alert that it was hard to leave him again. Yesterday when I visited him, he was sleepy part of the time, but that's normal for him on a holiday. He used to like to sleep part of the holiday. I feed Kenn a whole small individual container of applesauce that you can buy in a pack except for 2 small spoons of it that I had, plus some spoons of water. He swallowed all this fine. When I cleaned out his mouth after feeding him the applesauce, there wasn't any left sitting in his mouth. I told Nancy, the LPN, before I left and she said she'd chart that. After I left him in the afternoon, I ended up going over to Pastor's house in Deforest for Thanksgiving meal. It was easier than being with family as far as emotions go. I was planning on going to Esther's for Thanksgiving since they couldn't make it here. I want to see Mason, because he talks to me alot on the phone. He's saying so many words now. To make a long story short, I ended up not going to Green Bay, because of problems with my car going the distance. Wed. night, about 11:30, Jeremy came to me and told me to keep an eye on him, because he was feeling dizzy, his tongue and lips were numb. I called Dean on Call. They told us to take him to get checked out at St. Mary's Emergency. So we were there from shortly after midnight until 3a.m. They did tests and CT Scan and it all came back negative. So we don't know what is going on. I was so glad I was here to take him in and not at Esther's place. Jeremy went to Jenny's mom's house for Thanksgiving and Shawn was there too. I had to keep telling myself yesterday it was just another day and not a holiday just so the emotions wouldn't take over. The emotions were trying to get me after I left Kenn yesterday and then last night when I got home from Pastor's house. Yesterday, I got to talk to Nancy, when I was visiting Kenn. I talked to her about dance and she's so happy I found something to focus on besides Kenn. W
