Yesterday Darwin went to the folks and put child proof safety covers on the doorknobs. So last night the doors were secure. Mom did get up and wander though. Pop woke up and she was missing from bed so he looked around the house and then alerted Darwin that she was missing. When Darwins came down they found her in the guest room sitting on the floor with her back against the door. How she got into that position and why is a mystery.
This morning she got all dressed for church and Emma went down to comb her, but then when it was time to put on her sweater and go she refused when my Dad wanted her to get out of her chair. So he decided to stay home thinking she might be a problem at church. They listened to the service on the phone. Part way through he left the room and as soon as he left Mom got up and managed to open the front door. She went out and climbed into the drivers side of the van. When my Dad found her she locked the van so he couldn't get in and kept her finger on the lock so he couldn't unlock it with his key. He finally did get it open and took her to sit with him on the porch swing.
Kristin brought lunch for them and she ate well. After lunch she was settled in her chair and he left the room for just a moment and she gets out and heads for the door again. He decided to just watch and see what she does and where she goes. This time she walked out past the van, looking down towards Darwin's house. He said she waved a couple times and then picked up a stick and walked through the yard some. He then called Darwin for help to get her back into the house. When Darwin came down she went in willingly.
I really wonder what goes on in her mind. In what part of her past is she living? Is she playing hide and seek with her cousins of long ago? Or where is she? Who is she waving at? She listens better to Darwin and I then to my Dad. In the night it seems like she is afraid of him. But during the day she seems to not listen on purpose.
