| Ashlee on bed and Loreal sleeping |
Loreal, massaged her mama's legs because Jeannette had pain radiating from her lower back to her legs. She had tremendous pain all over but especially her legs. Loreal put cream on her mama's legs to sooth them. She poured cold water in a cup and put a straw in it so when her mama was thirsty she could have it ready. Loreal was beside herself. She has always been the kind of girl to keep all her emotions inside of her. She struggled for words but was so scared for her mama that she barely said a few words. Her eyes were red and I could tell she had been crying in the bathroom all by herself. Ashlee was the complete opposite. She let out her emotions and cried on my shoulder so much. Jeannette kept dozing off and on hour by hour only a minute or two and then the pain would wake her up. Loreal made sure to stand by her to see if she could help her in whatever she needed. Before long, it was dinner time. I told Loreal and Ashlee to go to the cafeteria and get a bite to eat. Loreal hesitated but Ashlee convinced her that she had to eat something to keep up her energy. So, off they went. Within minutes they were back with bowls of soup and crackers. Loreal had decided that she wanted to get back to her mom as quick as possible. It was around 1:30 in the morning that I took this picture of them dozing off for a little while. Ashlee jumped on the empty bed next to Jeannette's and Loreal sat in a chair close to Jeannette. I could tell that Loreal was lightly sleeping because she kept opening her eyes and looking at her mom.
I am so very proud of Loreal. She showed her mama that she loved her so much. Jeannette felt that too. I hope Loreal knows how much we all love her. She was her mama's only girl. She loved her LoLo.
