November 20 Part 6

 

Once again out of order, maybe start at the bottom. But we are in Utah and couldn't be happier. Ray and I were talking the other day (current day June, 2026) and trying to remember what happened the first night we were in Utah. I am thinking that since we weren't able to stay with her in California that we decided to not stay with her in Utah. So, he stayed with Blake at the hotel and Jerika and I stayed with Ashlin. We told them to call us if they needed anything. Well, I guess that first night was a nightmare and she was not well. She almost fell out of bed among other things. So, we decided from then on that one of us would stay with her every night. We got a discount at the local hotel for 10 stays. But Blake's mom rented him an airbnb for a week. Then he would go home and work and come back on his off days (or so we thought). He came when he could I guess and was very supportive when he was there. For the first few weeks Ray and I both stayed every night, usually with one of us on each side of her as she tried to kick herself out of bed constantly throughout the night. It was exhausting and Ray usually slept in a recliner and I slept on the very uncomfortable couch.



She really was so excited to see Jerika it was like she knew who she was from the beginning. We are still very unclear about who and what she knew those first days, but I am quite certain she knew exactly who her sister was.
