February 25, 1991: Helen stayed with Irene last night. I was there in p.m. Decided Irene should be in the hospital. Ambulance took her to Lady of Lourdes."
What are the odds that two of three honored guests would be sick? Grandma doesn't say if the dinner was cancelled or if some went since Aunt Helen was prepared for them. Actually, she doesn't mention a meal, so maybe it was just cake and coffee.
I looked ahead and it appears that Aunt Irene didn't go home after this hospital visit, but instead went to the nursing home to live out the rest of her life.
Mom has said in the past that whenever she had to be in the hospital, she preferred Lady of Lourdes. There was a short little nun that would come in during the night to take vitals. But she came with a little flashlight and used that to see what she needed to see instead of flipping on a light while patients were sleeping. How nice is that?
The photo is, I believe, during one of the trips Nancy, Grandma, Aunt Irene and Dorothy Jo took. Grandma doesn't look overly thrilled, but I am sure she had a nice time.
If I remember correctly they went ahead with the meal. And I can't remember what was making Aunt Irene so ill.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see Grandma without Maude.
