I just finished feeding Lynn's breakfast. I needed to give her a banana as well to see if it were just pure lack that Lynn ate a banana like we do or she could still do it. You know, many Alzheimer's patients may do some amazing thing one moment and not do it after that at all.
It took some time but she did eat a banana just like we do! I'd rather taking time for her to eat as long as her eating style improves. This is like a exercise of eating.
But, as she ate one bite by one bite, I tell her that how much I am thankful and I stroke her head!!! And, even I sometimes say that eating is like facial exercise because of the facial muscle movement!
Right now, it's a baby step for her improvement. I also feel importance role I play...It requires me to shift my mind what is possible and adapt to this new changes we are going through. If I only expect the same old same old...I think Lynn would lose her chance to get any improvement...So, this is also a exercise for me to truly open to all possibilities. It is easier to be said than done...but I want to be a woman who can walk by what I say and believe!!!
Everything starts from baby steps!!!
Faith + Work = Miracle
