Vacillating moments of lucidity on behalf of my grandma. At one point she looked at me squarely and it was clear she recognized me (or something about me was familiar at the very least). She then told me I had beautiful eyes. Why thank you. I told her I had her eyes. She smiled at that. She is doing slightly better today.
For the second consecutive day she fell fast asleep at the hands of 3 granddaughters. We massaged her into peace. It felt good to be able to comfort her on the most basic level. Good ol' human touch.
Worst Part of the Day-
Misinterpretation. One of the cousins cornered me and pointedly asked (very non-passive aggressively, but assertively) if I was upset with her from months prior. She sensed tension from our last meeting (in late October '07). I explained that the very palpable tension she felt was NOT directed at her or anything to do with her but other factors present that eve. We discussed. I think the air is clear now. It does sadden me that for months she was sitting on the feelings produced from a communication breakdown. ('Cause she can do no wrong in my book--let it be known!)
