Was not going to blog today, intended just to visit & write silly comments on other blogs ;-)
However, mid-comment, my Dad called. This is the reason for the title of this entry, 'cos it is what I ended up thinking as a result of his call. I am not given to charismatic outbursts as a rule, and I did not say it out loud, but 'Praise God!' best expresses my feelings at the moment.
Dad described his time with Mum this evening as 'The best visit so far', he also said that she was 'Coherent and conversational.' As if that were not enough, she made a valiant and *determined* effort to put a sock on her right leg. She needed help in the end, but she *tried* - and that is the important part!!!
Denise had reported a bright Mum, too, that afternoon. She has been buying up and will be cooking 'real' food for Mum to eat. Mushy, but proper! Auntie Jan has also noticed a marked improvement, she has not seen Mum in about a week.
So, all looks good for the forthcoming visit home. I know that I may not see Mum on top form, as she has been today, but it looks like she has found her 'spark' again. It is likely to come and go, but I know it is there - praise God!
And thanks for your prayers ;)
