Grandma Gettel & Dad Poll update

Russ & I went to see Grandma Gettel at lunch today. We got there before they took her to the lunch room & found her going down the hall, then tried to enter someone’s room. We walked with her for a bit around the halls then it was time for her to eat. She is on the 3rd floor. The lunch room is in the new part but her room is in the old part. There are many who have rooms in the new area. Grandma was doing fairly well. She kept asking where Earl, Kathy & Vic are. I told her Earl is in heaven & Kathy & Vic are in Florida. She seemed ok with that. She wants to write Earl a letter to tell him to visit her. She kept asking “help me”. Each time she said that I put food on her spoon & that seemed to satisfy her. She ate & drank everything. When she was done eating she wanted to go to her bed so we left when the aide took her back to her room.

Russ’ Dad was taken to Kent Community Hospital on Friday. According to Ed & Rogor he didn’t have a good day yesterday but seems to be better today. The staff is having a real problem with him at night – not taking medication & he is not cooperating. His health seems to be improving but his mental facilities aren’t doing so well. Russ & I plan to go there next Saturday for the day. Dan won’t be able to go because he is working all night at the SAC on Friday night.
