Partying is hard work!

Mom has recovered from her "wild-and-crazy" birthday party, though it took some effort. She absolutely LOVED everyone's flowers (thank you to all who brought them!)... however, we had to remove them from the house because they made it difficult for her to breathe. Please do not be discouraged as she has been able to continue to enjoy them by viewing them through a window. So the lessoned learned: a card is probably better than flowers.

All the activity of her birthday wore her down pretty well. She took extensive catnaps on Saturday, but was feeling pretty chipper by day's end.

This was the first weekend for the relief caregiver - Katea (not sure of the spelling, pronounced "kuh-tay'-uh"), so that was a little stressful for Mom as well - there's no one like our Frances!! Frances will be back on duty this evening (Sunday) so all will be back to "normal" soon.
