Mom's on her own and doing well...

Called Mom this morning to see how things went since I left yesterday afternoon. I didn't call last night on purpose so she could feel some confidence in doing things on her own. She didn't mention any problems. It will be difficult for her getting sleep as Dad gets up several times in the night to go to the bathroom. She was always a bit of an insomniac. No mention of any issues with brother, so I presume it went well. It also gave her a chance to close her eyes while he was out.

A stroke such as what afflicted Dad has resulted in much of his faculties at reduced capacity. I realize that his comprehension is slower and his understanding is limited. He is remembering more as time goes on. And maybe that is what it will take... time.
