Nan's song

Sudy likes to sing to Nan after lunch. Sudy was also an early childhood teacher at Napa College and has known Nan for the last 25 years. There are a variety of songs that she sings, but this one seems to be Nan's favorite. Nan tends to fall asleep during these 5 minute singing sessions. The songs are similar to the type of songs Nan once sang to kids, so it really hits home for her. Sudy has offered to bring books on tape with headphones for Nan as well. Nan is awake more than before, but she has a lot of headaches, and closing her eyes decreases the headache pain. Her eyes are open more than a few weeks ago, but not as much as a normal person.
She spends almost all her time in bed, up just for 30 minutes or so for lunch. She needs a lot of encouragement to stay out of the bed.
