5/16 Grandmom visits again!

We had a car full!  Max and Violet rode into the hospital on her mini car and Aunt Franny pushed Grandmom in on her wheels.  We were quite a sight going through the hospital.  Grandmom brought mom some lazy peirogie.  Clayton was really, really, really tired.  He ate some cream of wheat which made Grandmom feel much better that he's eating.  He had dialysis, so when he went downstairs for that, we went and had some lunch with Mom.  We got to ride down the service elevator and go into the dialysis unit with him.  He was sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice us saying good-bye.  I slid open his eyeball and he kept on sleeping.  Max thought this was so funny!  When he woke up after dialysis, Clayte asked where Max was.  He didn't remember us trying to say good-bye.
