Oh, Grams....
So, Gramma is back in the hospital as of Sunday.  Pneumonia, wicked UTI, the works.  She hibernates when she gets pneumonia and always gives us a scare.  I stayed with her all day Monday and today and she was a bit out of it today, more than usual.


But....just when you think she's completely delirious...she hits you with a few zingers.  


Exhibit A:


Uncle Kiki is with Grams and the nurse walks in.  
Nurse:  Lucy, who is this? (she is just quizzing Grams, she knows it's her son)
Grams:......he's my lover.


Exhibit B:
I'm with Grams today and she has spent the last ten minutes making her baby doll that I bought her dance going 1,2,3,4 and 5,6,7,8...counting out the dance steps for baby.
Grams: What's your husband's name again?
Dana: Dan.
Grams: ANN?  That is the most disgusting name I have ever heard on a man.
Dana: No, Grams...Daniel.
Grams: Oh...well that's much better.


Exhibit C:
I was feeling pretty down and anxious because Grams was in her own little world and I was having a difficult time engaging with her.  It was making me sad so Kiki was trying to quiz her. 
Kiki: Mother, who's this girl? (pointing to me...I was right up in her face smiling at her and kissing her)
Grams:  I have NO idea...but, boy is she cute.
Not the answer I was looking for, but nonetheless, it made my day.


I love Grams so much and I hope she gets better each day.  She raised me as a 2nd mom and I spent most of my young adult and college years on the phone with her almost daily.  She and Papa were two of my best friends :)  Here's a few of my most precious Grams pics.
