Abelina update 3/25/2008

Spending time with my aunt since I have arrived to this city, has been hard yet amazing.. we share stories from back when we would come visit her when we were younger. To feeding her homemade mexican food (because she will not eat the mystery meat from the hospital) to massaging her arms and making sure she is comfortable at all times.. I have loved being able to spend time with her.. watching movies with her, and just trying to be myself when I'm with her and learning so much from all the nurses and what she needs .. and what she wants done.. its so important and vital to always be aware of what's going on.. On a lighter note.. I just always try and goof around with her.. because that's how our relationship always was.. I remember earlier this week.. she had asked for a drink of water.. and I said... Of course.. Ill give you some water.. and I tricked her and gave her some of the drink she hates most (ensure) and she just looked at me with those eyes like.."Are you kidding me?!" and she couldn't stop laughing.. But spending all this time with her has been an experience itself and I wouldn't have had it any other way.. Im so glad I was able to help. I will be starting school March 31st so I wont be able to go see her as much as I would like before she moves to Arizona... but I know she will be proud.. and thats all I need to know.
