It has been a while since we have written about Dr. Dale. Things seem to be progressing daily. Each day is filled with a routine to meet all of Dr's needs. We have devised a chart, with Dr. Dale's help, to keep us on track with this daily routine. It can be quite confusing at times, but I think Granny has it mastered.
It is nice to have people coming by to read, to talk, to pray, to laugh. It is nice to see smiles.
Thanks for that!
We have asked Dr. Dale about the back scratching contest and who may be the winner. He just smiles. I guess that contest is not over yet. So we asked about the foot rub contest. He just smiles and says Patty. Patty is the lady who sits with him at night. Granny just laughs. We all laugh. Doctor just smiles.
One day Granny was sitting in the recliner across the room from Dr. Dale. Dr. mouthed something and Granny thought he called her Betty. Wesley was watching the Flintstones and immediately thought Dr. Dale was referring to Betty Rubble. Granny then called Dr. Dale "Fred". A couple of days later, Granny looked at Dr. Dale and asked him if he knew who she was. Dr. Dale's response was "Betty". We laughed and laughed.
Keeping this in mind, Wesley walked up to Dr. Dale's bed yesterday. He looked Dr. Dale in the eyes and said "Do you know who I am?" You could only laugh. Dr. Dale even smiled.
In case you are interested, we are contemplating a new contest....arm wrestling. It seems Dr. Dale is able to do that motion with his right hand. Anyone interested?
Thanks again for all your love, support and prayers. It is truly treasured!
