Stopped to see Jane real quick after she had lunch with my Dad. They were hanging out in the clubhouse listening to Andre Bocceli – one of Jane’s favorite.

Jane recognized me when I walked in & smiled – a good sign. I told her about Elliott & how he likes to howl – she liked that. I said should he come hang out with you? And she said yeah ok. I fear Elliott has a bit too much energy for my stepmom. I showed her pics of Elliott & the new puppies in our rescue my friend Robin is fostering. She said 9 babies is too many. Jane was very tired. While she would look at me when I talked to her, she kept leaning on my dad. I asked her if she was tired & she said yes, with a sigh. So we got her up & walked her back to her room for a nap. When she stood up, she leaned in to me for a hug. I am grateful she still recognizes me & wants to hug me. She held my dad’s hand tight as we walked back to her room. She was walking very slowly. Honestly, she was about the same today as she was on Wednesday – no better but no worse.
