Mom and Dad had a good time on their "outing" on Friday. The did end up at Valley View for some slot machine action and had dinner there. They have the best tomato basil soup that mom absolutely loves so she had that as well as fresh bread. It might not sound like much to us but if she eats a whole bowl of soup with bread, that is a great improvement. She was very tired when they got home and she sat down on the sofa in our living room to let me know what she played, etc., and fell asleep. She did that several times during our conversation so I convinced her to go to bed and we'd catch up in the morning. Late Saturday morning mom was still in bed and throughout the day she continued to sleep. It continued that way through Sunday and part of Monday. Mom has never reacted to outings like this before so we know she's weakening faster than expected. We were able to keep her up long enough to eat and take her meds though so she was comfortable.
Pilar, our home health aide, will be here today to help mom shower, etc., and Maddie, the nurse, will be here tomorrow for a check-up. Maddie has called almost every day to see how mom is doing which I really appreciate. She's a sweetie and mom really likes her. We haven't met Pilar yet but based on conversations on the phone she sounds just as sweet as Maddie. Once mom is done with her shower we'll open up Patti's beauty shop and I'll set and style her hair. That's one of my favorite things to do... :)
