Wayne has adjusted very well to his new home and lately been very full of smiles.
When I walked onto the unit today, a nurse came running with her cell, “Wayne must love Johnny Cash, he was dancing up a storm. See, we took a picture.”
Well, the close up picture was nothing short of comical as his hair was standing straight up and he had the hugest smile on his face.
After lunch I brushed his teeth (they basically can’t – he will allow me)
I wet a warm facecloth and told him we needed to wet his hair so it would be smooth after I combed it. I kind of did a dance and sang foolishness as I wet and combed his hair – he didn’t fuss at all – usually he gets frantic.When we got to the dining room again, the nurses made a big fuss over him.
The sweetest part which I will never forget is that he said, “You’re so nice” when I did his hair. Skippity, skip, skipitty, skip:)

He never forgets who loves him:)Glad he is doing well at the new place.
Awww, Jean – how wonderful to have this happy moment with Wayne.
I’m glad he’s fitting into his new home so well.

Gosh – I think that is so sweet and so sad at the same time. I just get so confused – I know you must too. I am glad he smiles – he must have been that way long before – all smiles. Hugs.
I know that must make your heart skip a beat. Thank God for small favors.
Yes, take joy in the small things.

Jean–good for you–all around. Able to care for Wayne. And able to take joy from his sweet response.
