She can't hear very well so she'd probably just push the button too.<br /><br />Ferret, I loved the snow when I lived here too. :)<br /><br />Robin, that's true. We got her a bigger bell that sounds like the alarm in a firehouse. Now I BOLT out of bed!<br /><br />Thanks Nadine & Colby!<br /><br />Erica, I'll try, but we're not supposed to bring liquids on the plane.

The bell did wake me up, and we just had an even LOUDER bell delivered. <br /><br />I love the snow, even this stuff. :)<br /><br />Janna, I'm curious what I'll dream about tonight, that's for sure!<br /><br />Thanks Lauren!<br /><br />Sarah, that's pure genious!<br /><br />Natasha, they actually bought me a prepaid cell phone so we could do that, I think. I don't know how to do anything with this phone -- aside from the alarm clock.<br /><br />Adam, once again, you made me almost spew my beverage. Well done.<br /><br />JLC, she keeps joking that she has me under her control, but she hasn't rang it at all today.<br /><br />Robin, that's a fabulous idea!

It was loud, scared us every time . . . but it worked.

I think they're around $25. Put the button in her room and the doorbell in yours and then you're just a button push away, just like the nurses.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116525351302123329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-34602786513576301342009-12-21T10:38:49.941-06:002009-12-21T10:38:49.941-06:00My Grandmother in-law used a bell when she was bei...My Grandmother in-law used a bell when she was being cared for by family.
