Carol looks like she is feeling better this visit

I've read a couple of your posts and have to restate the obvious... you're an amazing person, and are making such a world of difference to Nikki and his mom!!! I was just wondering because I don't recall reading, does she have a chance of coming out of the nursing home, or is this a permanent arrangement?

Yes her pneumonia has resolved. She still has a bad cough but the worst is over.
- I met Carol last August at the senior apts my Dad (RIP) was living at. I saw her sitting with a yorkie in the lobby one day and started a conversation. She had gotten Nikki from a rescue 2 years earlier. She was in bad financial straits so I took over Nikki's financial needs. Carol had a stroke in February and I told her I would take Nikki until she could hopefully recover enough to take him back. She had been estranged from her kids but we had to notify them when she had the stroke. The dtr moved her by her about 90 minutes from me. Now her kids don't visit and she so wants to get back here. I don't think she will ever be able to live on her own again so I try and take Nikki out every 2 weeks to see her.

Thank you Patti for the update, I really like the picture of Carol kissing the top of Nikki's little head it is very sweet.

Carol does look better in these pictures.

You truly are a special person, both Carol and Nikki are lucky to have you in their lives.

His name was Fabio before Carol changed it. He so looks like Fabio!

I am so going to use that name for one of my next lil' male Yorkies I foster...I'm always searching for cute names...Fabio...love it!

I know I wish she would have kept the name. The funny thing is maybe 6 years ago I was at a Sam's club with my parents and Fabio was there promoting some coat line and you could get your picture taken with him. So I did!!!lol

Patti you are an angel on earth to both Carol and Nikki - they are so blessed to have you. I wish there were more people like you in this world- I cried when I saw the pictures before I even read the story. Thank you

Patti, great pictures and thanks for sharing. I remember the last few months of my Mom's life how happy she was to see Maxine. Towards the end, they would not allow Maxine in the room so we had to sneek her in. You are one fine lady.

You are such a gift to Carol and Nikki. When you came into her life, I can only imagine how it must have eased her mind that her baby is loved and taken care of. It must give Carol hope and something to live for.
