Oh my. Finally the day came. Christmas Day where Mary Ann should meet my Granny – her Great Grandma for the first time. I have been looking so much forward for it, that I totally had forgotten about the Christmas present I had for Neil and he had for me.
It has been a hectic program today. First we had to go to the hospital with Mary Ann to check her weight. She had gained 110g – more then double of what she should have. That gives her a weight on 2485g. We now have to stop counting grams and millilitres. That will be hard. The nurse told us that Mary Ann can adjust her consume herself. We shouldn’t worry. The nurse was so pleased with Mary Ann’s progress that she wanted to discharge her today. We wanted to wait to Thursday just to be on the safe side.
Right after hospital Mary Ann and I went to church. It’s important for me, that she get use to being there. I was afraid to stay there to long though. We left when they were about to sing the second song. I rather have her sleeping so she can feel the strength to eat more.
When we came home the neighbours returned back Tiree. They had her for few days so we could concentrate on Mary Ann and her eating routine.
Half an hour later we were on our way to Christmas dinner with my Granny. A lovely dinner which we really enjoyed. But my! It was busy. We were to tell many times the senile that they lived there. They didn’t understand where they were at all. We explained to them that we would follow them home. Had to promise them to drive them to another town. They were all very confused and thought they lived in other towns. I gather it was their old home towns they talked about. My Granny seemed so happy. When she saw Mary Ann she asked: Who is that little fellow? And then she pricked Mary Ann’s eye. She behaved like Mary Ann was a doll. She always said little fellow also to Cecilie when she met her the first time many years ago and before she was senile. I’m not too sure how much she understands. I think she kind of knows who I am. She kept on telling me, that I always have been such a nice girl and good to her. (Maybe she has been thinking on another then me). That’s the main ting; she’s happy and knows that I only want the very best for her. She tried to charm her way with Neil. She told me that he was a nice handsome young man. I had to tell her that I knew. That’s why he is mine!
The poor Mary Ann didn’t eat that much today. I’m sure it is because of all the fuss that happened in one day. She didn’t make a sound throughout the whole day. She is easy to bring along. I hope it stays like that.
