Mom is stable, sleeping a lot. She just gets up to the commode. We feed her. We haven't weighed her lately. I'll try to tomorrow. Bob and Shaunna and Beki came today to see her. Also the next door neighbor Lillian came and saw her. She got cards from Barb and Rodger, and from Amy Singer and a birthday card and rose from Lillian.

A hospice volunteer, Kaycie, came today to set up a time to do respite for us. She will start on the 15th at 9 am for 4 hours once a week.

Tomorrow the bath aide and the hospice nurse, Pat, will come.

On Friday mom fell getting up to the commode. We are trying to keep a closer eye on her. She doesn't remember falling. She doesn't call for help so it is hard to keep her from falling unless we are in the room with her all the time. Hard to do and still work and get enough sleep.

Melissa came and stayed with Mom on Sunday so we could all go to church. The first time in more than a month we all got to go to church together.
