Visiting with Joy

After doing some things in Ferndale, we left to visit Joy in Lynden.  I could hear her when we walked down the hall toward her room.  She was sitting in the wheel chair and the water was running in the wash basin.  She  like to put stuff in the basin and mix it with water.   Fortunately there was nothing to put in it so it wouldn't get clogged.  A caregiver came and walked Joy down a couple of hallways. We walked with her. She wasn't overly excited about that, we could tell.  After returning to the room, however, she was calm and seemed to enjoy our being there. When Margie went down to the nurses station to request a hair cut for Joy, Joy followed her each step of the way with her eyes.  Then she glanced over where I was sitting and checked where Margie had put her purse.  She wanted to know if she had taken her purse.  We discovered a long time ago that Joy does not miss much.  She knows what is going on. We are pleased with the loving care given her.  While there, we went two rooms away from Joy, and visited the mother of one of our church members.  We had never met her. We had prayer with her.  What a sweet lady.  Thank you all for your prayers.
