Hi gals, we had a wonderful day yesterday (Monday 29th January) for Mum's 90th birthday luncheon. Everyone came except for Steve (Amy's husband who is in India on a 10 day motor cycle trip with his mates) and Ben's partner who works in Age care disability.
It was lovely at the Belmont Yacht Club and Mum enjoyed seeing all the family, albeit not knowing their names anymore, but she had a great time. We tired her out I think. She's so little now at 50kg (7 and a half stone).
It's so hard to get Mum to smile as she doesn't know where she is to look and often looks away.
Love Chris

59631Belated birthday greetings to your mum. 90 is a great age and you have some super pictures as a reminder of her birthday. Is it still school summer holidays at the moment? I am very sorry to hear she has had another seizure. Hopefully she remembers a bit of her birthday celebrations

Hi Caroline, school holidays finished last week when students went to school from Wednesday on. This coming Monday is the first full week.
Thanks for your kind words about Mum, she doesn't remember much these days, so sad. Love Chris

The girls are down on the right hand side of the table, she didn't get them up for the picture. I mentioned that to her too! I'll add a picture of the table. Love Chris

Thanks Suzanna, she loved it and had her fingers all over the sponge and strawberries. I had a napkin handy to wipe her fingers, but she doesn't know what to do with it, so I have to wipe her hands, so sad. Love Chris

52686The pictures are all so nice. Just seeing the sunshine is great and we saw it today even though it was cold, it wasn’t as cold as a few days ago. I love Dana’s blue crab outfit and she looks great with her hair grown out. Thanks for sharing and give your mum a hug from me and a happy belated birthday wish!

Hi Laura, yes, she's under 50kg and just skin and bones. Unfortunately, I got a call this morning and Mum had another seizure whilst being dressed after the staff showered her. I was over there by 8.15 to see her, but she was sleeping and will be all day. I'll see how she is in the morning, but the staff keep me informed all the time. Love Chris
96279Wishing your Mum a very Happy 90th Birthday. It is great to see her celebrating with her family. Love Marg
