The Georges in Peru

 Last night was kind of a sad one.  Mia and Sarah were helping me take Amy to the bathtub and she suddenly got scared and started punching me with her right arm (the only thing she can move).  “Mom!  That’s Dad you are hitting!” (don't worry, she can't hit very hard)  It was sad on so many levels, partly for Sarah and Mia to see their mom deteriorate so much that she’d not realize that she was hitting their dad, and Amy being so scared because she is so helpless (can’t see, or walk).  She seemed apologetic today and I felt bad that she couldn't even apologize, but I told her I forgave her and knew she wouldn't have hit me if she had known it was me.

This morning I had to walk out of our team meeting when they were singing because they sang 10,000 Reasons and the last verse says:  

"And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
And I just couldn’t take it.
Sorry to write such a bummer blog today.  On a good note, Amy drank very well this afternoon, taking in about 500 ml of water and Powerade, and she's still drinking well.  Time to get some more Powerade.
