#15 = Boo

A couple of years ago, when mom was in her "awake for 2.5 days - asleep for 2.5 days" phase, Halloween came sneaking up.   Mom had been busy renovating (aka peeling wallpaper off the walls) for days, and so was a little tuckered out.  Debbie and I were having a nice lay down visit.  Lay down visits occured when mom was in bed in the middle of the day.  "Shove over" and then there is room for us to snuggle in and quite often actually get a little nap! 

It was fairly quiet in the room.  Peaceful actually.  The RN came into the room to give mom her meds and check on things.  After a little conversation, she quietly asked mom "What are you going to be for Halloween Audrey?"  No comment.   Again, "Audrey, what are you going to be for Halloween?" 

Mom's eyes were still closed....



BOO!!!!!!!!!!

Mom flung her eyes open and shouted Boo! at the top of her aged COPD'd lungs! 
The poor nurse jumped a mile and held onto her heart!  Then did we ever howl!!  


such an "Audrey Walmsley" moment to be sure!   I love "Audrey Walmsley" moments.
