Day by Day

Hi everyone,

This is Minnie , trying to do a small update so you have some idea of whats happening here with mom.....

This week has been up and down-- with a new medication added to help when mom gets restless and starts seeing things--- It's hard to keep her in her chair or the bed--- she fell last night , the second time this week--- this time with scrapes on her elbow and some swelling on her wrist( the left arm) ..

She basically feels useless .. and is upset because she just isn't able to do the things she wants to get done .. some days she will respond to Bonnie and myself -- and other days she just turns her back to us..... Mom does respond to the grandkids and the hospice workers --her energy is limited and she is saving it for them .

Still losing weight -- its hard to get her to eat........ and we have been told not to force her. She looks very gaunt.... its hard to watch her fade away like this.....


Basically we are taking things one day at a time.... I will be here until the beginning of Oct... spending some time with mom and letting sis have a break now and then --

As has been mentioned in other posts--she loves the cards she received , and does read them herself ..

blessing to all of you


Minnie
