Saturday, 2/1/14

The past two days mom has been sleeping more and more and when awake she's quite agitated (even with the medication).  It took three hours for her to take her night meds as she insisted on counting the pills and checking the colors over and over again.  She only ate maybe two bites of a maple bar yesterday morning and one bite of pizza for dinner; forgoing liquids almost altogether.  I'm making another bunch of her favorite soup and doing a dill pot roast tomorrow so hopefully the pattern will change again.  What bothers me the most is she loves fudge and she wouldn't even eat that yesterday.  She woke up screaming at 3:00 a.m. for her friend Marlene.

Although yesterday was rough, we did have a really bright point.  My nephew John (Washington State) sent me a message and he'll be here next Friday for the weekend.  Dad grinned from ear to ear and when we told mom about it she was absolutely thrilled; in fact, she kept asking if she dreamed it.  It was nice seeing she and dad so excited.  We're all looking forward to seeing him.   He and my son are Mom and Dad's only grandchildren that seem to be concerned and willing to take time out of their lives to visit and/or keep in constant contact...that's okay, at least they'll have no regrets later on.
