Things have been going pretty constantly around here, so time is kinda limited to when Mom takes naps. =) She's had the home health company out, so she's got a nurse and a physical therapist working with her a couple times a week. Otherwise, we've been hanging out, watching some TV, and playing games. I (Olivia) have actually been cooking (no, don't call poison control), and making sure Mom is safe and taken care of during the day. She's been doing pretty good taking care of herself though, what with showering, getting dressed, getting up and down stairs, and those sorts of things, so we're doing pretty good.
She hasn't made her way to the computer yet, but that's on the goal list. Mom does say hi, and thank you for all your love, support, and prayers. She's waving from the next room as I type this. =)

Amazing what a bad joke will do.
This is the look I get when I haven't updated the blog.
I got mine done first... and now Mom has my back.

A way for family and friends of Pat Mensing to keep up with her.
Stories
I've seen that Mom loves to relive fun times that she's had with her family and friends. I'd love it if you would send a story or memory (or multiple stories/memories) to celebrate_pat@yahoo.com for her. Whether it's a story about the first time you met her, a funny thing that happened, any and everything you want to say, she'll love them.
Contact Information
I'm collecting contact information for Mom's family and friends. I set up a special e-mail address, celebrate_pat@yahoo.com. It'll just be used for when there's eventually a celebration of life party. Please send your name, address, phone number, and preferred e-mail address.

Hi Pat. Dolores, Linda and I are all reading the updates together. We miss you and we love the fact that you are home.
I hope you are watching American Idol - I need you to come back so I have someone to talk about it.

Hi Olivia, I am so glad you have been able to spend to spend this time with your Mom. I was going to comment on your post about the person saying there will be a rainbow in their heart when you leave. It was a beautiful comment and I appreciate the sentiment.
Pat - Yippee! Yahoo!! You have made it home and are progressing!!!! I am so happy for you!!
I'm the Online Chair for Dublin' Relay For Life this year. I hope you will be able to attend the Relay in June. Would it be okay if I register you for our team and get your page going? Have Olivia email me at work and we can coordinate phone #'s, etc.

Olivia,
You are doing such a great job taking care of your mom. What a sacrafice you have made. It is hard to see you as an adult, taking on so many resposibilities. In my mind, Mat, Val you and Brooke will always be the sweet little things playing the back yard, yet here you are, all grown up. Keep up the good work!
Pat,
It was so great to talk to you yesterday. Enjoy you visit with Ann.
Here is a goal for you. I will be working at In Between Stitches, May 3 all day. It really would be great to see you.
Love and prayers,
Paulette
