Things Turned Out All Right Yesterday

After a rocky start yesterday, Kate awoke around 10:45 and was perfectly normal. I didn’t test her to see if she knew our names or our relationship, but she acted as though she did. Before I reminded her that I would be going to Rotary and that the sitter was coming to take her lunch, she was prepared for us to go out together. I thought my telling her I was leaving might change how well things were going. Fortunately, that wasn’t a problem. I suggested that she work on her iPad a few minutes until Cindy arrived. She arrived about ten minutes later. When Kate saw her, she said, “It’s good to see you.”

After Cindy left, Kate was ready to go. It was too early for dinner. We went to Panera for an hour and then to dinner. She was quite tired when we got home. She actually rested a while before going to bed. I think she had not had her afternoon nap. She was in bed by 8:00 although she was awake when I got to bed at 9:30.

Around 4:00 this morning, I felt her move in the bed. She seemed uneasy. I wasn’t sure she was awake, but I asked if she was all right. She said, “I don’t know.” She seemed like she may have been dreaming and that something had disturbed her. She moved closer to me and held my arm tightly. I thought she was frightened and asked if she was afraid. Again, she said, “I don’t know.” This reminded me of the way she was when she got up the first time yesterday morning. She didn’t say anything more. I said, “I am right here with you. You’re going to be all right. I’ll see to that.” She still didn’t say anything. I held her for the next forty-five minutes before she said, “Do we have a wedding?” I told her we didn’t. Then she asked if we have a daughter. I told her we do and that she was already married and had two children. She said, “So we don’t have a wedding?” I told her we didn’t and didn’t have anything she needed to be worried about. I was asleep shortly after 5:00. I’m not sure she was really awake at all during that hour.
