This is my Grandma at the hospital with all her stuffed animals we got her. Here is a picture of all my sisters and Mom and our wonderful Grandma. Today we went to see her and brought her all those bears and some flowers. We had such a fun visit and laughed
alot. She is doing
alot better, but still has a few months of recovering to do. When we were about ready to leave we asked her if we could bring her anything back later like a treat or something, and she thought for a min then said.."I can think of something right now... A million dollars" We all burst out laughing. We really thought she would says some kind a treat. She is so funny even when she is in pain. She also talked about the "
cremated" hamburger they brought her with no tomatoes. She always says some funny phrase to make us laugh. We have a whole list of her sayings and we laugh when we say them. I just love her to pieces. She keeps everyone laughing.
This is our second visit and we brought her a card with play money inside saying it was a million dollars. She was in
alot of pain and seeing that play money made her smile. She thought it was so funny. It's been good to be down here in St. George to visit her. I think it has lifted her spirits and made her feel better. We are going to see her again tomorrow and bring some meals to put in her freezer for when she gets home. I wonder what other crazy funny thing she will say tomorrow. I just love her so much. It's been hard to see her in pain. She is 85, but she acts so much younger and is so spunky.

That is so fun! I know with my family (and from Robert and Andy talking, it sounds like your family is about the same way) it is ALWAYS fun to get together, you never know what might happen. Even in poor circumstances, it seems like things are always made better by just being together. Sounds like you had a great time! Makes me miss my family...
What a great time we had in St. George!!!! And, it really lifted Grandma's spirit to have us all there! She still has a sense of humor, even as old as she is, and hurting with fractured ribs! We've got to back down soon!!
What a great thing you all did for her! I think you made a huge difference for her recovery -imagine her having to do it alone! What do you think about making a small book with all the neat things your grandmother has said, and will say in the years to come? What a great heirloom to hand down to those that knew her and those who didn't have the chance to know her?
Love you lots, Julie!
That was so much fun going to St. George and seeing Grandma...it was hard to see her and sit there when she was in pain...but it wasn't long before she was making some funny joke or saying a funny phrase..you are right, she really does keep us laughing. Please Grandma, don't ever die!!!!!
