New Kid Funnies, Update on Judy
Update on Judy
Judy is still at hospice and continues to be unresponsive. It has been almost two weeks now since she stopped communicating. She is not in a coma but more of a deep sleep. She does not open her eyes, move or talk. The day nurse has told Kip several times that every morning when she comes on duty she’s surprised to find that Judy is still there.

So, Mary has had a lot to say lately.
1. We were at hospice visiting Judy two weekends ago. I was taking Mary for a walk around the building to keep her busy and as we approached Judy’s room, Mary saw a nurse standing outside the door. She marched herself right up to the nurse and with great conviction said:
Mary: Hi! What’s your name?
Nurse: Jane. What’s your name?
Mary: My name is Madison. My Nana not feel well! You need to help her!
2. You know how kids will sometime say something to an adult and then you don’t respond immediately because you’re trying to decipher exactly what it is that the child said?
Mary: Something unintelligible. We think she was trying to tell Kip one of her knock-knock jokes.
Kip: Pausing to figure out what she said before he responds.
Mary: Come on Dad! Work with me!
3. On Saturday Kip stayed home with the children while I went out and had a little time to myself. I bought the Harry Potter book and went to the salon to have a manicure and pedicure done. Reaching my feet is now out of the question. 
Anyway, I guess it’s been a long time since I’ve had my toes painted because Mary and Nathan were beside themselves when I got home.
Mary: Mama!!! You can change colors! (She is just flabbergasted by this- she wants to see my toes about ten times a day- and each time she is just amazed that they are colored)
Nathan: Mama! That’s beee-yooo-tiful!
4. Nathan is such a delicious boy- earlier he told me that he was dreaming about naps. He also frequently asks to hold hands- “Mama- will you hold my hand?” I know it won’t be long before he wouldn’t be caught dead holding my hand so I’m trying to enjoy it while I can.
Don’t Miss:
This post, over at Lisa Writes, on being a player not a spectator. Excellent.
Anyone else reading or finished with the new Harry Potter? I finished it Sunday morning- it was everything I hoped it would be. I wasn’t disappointed at all. Loose ends from previous books were tied up and explained and I was right in my prediction of Snape’s character. I won’t say more so as not to spoil it for anyone else who hasn’t finished it yet.
