Nikki's 2nd visit to the Nursing Home - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Patti · 05-13-2010, 12:09 PM

Nikki and I went to see Carol (his Mom) at the nursing home again today. We went about 4 weeks ago and she is doing a lot better. Sadly she will never be able to live on her own and take Nikki back. But we will go visit every 2 weeks.I would go more often but it's about a 90 minute drive each way. Nikki was so much more relaxed and ran around her room investigating and spent a lot of time in his Mom's arms. We had to go show all her therapists, aides and friends Nikki. He is such a good boy. He was really zonked out on the way home. Thanks for looking.

Warms my heart!
Sorry for Carol, but lovely that you are keeping them close. Nikki is one lucky fur-kid!

This story touched my heart when you took Nikki and posted those first pictures. You are such an awesome person to take the time to let Nikki visit with his mom. Great pics again this visit.

I don't know who looks happier, Nikki or Carol. You have such a big heart. Bless you for driving all that way to make sure Carol sees her baby. I'm sure it means so very much to her.

You are one very special lady. I can only imagine the peace Carol has knowing that Nikki is with you, being loved and cared for for the rest of his life. And her joy at his visits is so obvious in those pics, they bring tears to my eyes. Thank you, Patti.

Patti, your one in a million. Carol is certainly blessed to have Nicki in your
home. To be able to visit with him from time to time and know that he's
loved and well cared for must make her smile daily.
Your a very special lady, Patti.
I just love visiting Carol too on your visiting day's. Brings a smile to
me as well.

What a touching story, you are very special

LDandPasquale · 05-13-2010, 12:55 PM

The pictures of Carol holding Nikki is just so heartwarming. You can really see the love for each other. You are a great person to do this! It's good to know there are people like you in this world.

yorkieusa · 05-13-2010, 01:07 PM

It does take the little one's time to get used to a nursing home environment. I'm sure you already know how much it means to them both to get to see each other. I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. You're too wonderful for words.

Maximo · 05-13-2010, 01:15 PM

Patti, you are wonderful for both Nikki and Carol! Great pictures. It is heartwarming to read a thread like this.

Patti · 05-13-2010, 02:01 PM

Thanks. I know how much it would mean to me if I was in Carol's situation. I think we would all do the same. I wish she was closer so we could go more often. I have been a little lost with out my Dad to care for. So it makes me feel better visiting Carol as I met her at the Senior apartments my Dad lived in.

jacquelinebabco · 05-13-2010, 02:35 PM

You are one wonderful gal.

yorkiemalt · 05-13-2010, 02:39 PM
