Aug. 23: Today was a really big day. Mom’s friend Christy came down from Wausau for a visit this afternoon. Then around 4 pm, Joe and his friends Lindsey and Leah left for their trip back to Bowdoin. It was kind of hard to say goodbye, but they’re off for a nice adventure.
Mom was alright today. She barely napped at all though the afternoon. Toward the end of the afternoon, she developed a “stitch” in her side that seemed to cause her quite a bit of discomfort. I’m hoping that the pain meds that she took just before I left will help her sleep well.
Pictures of the day are in the gallery.
To help me keep track of Mom’s schedule while I’m at work and home, I put together an online calendar for her. 
You’re welcome to bookmark it too.
