I went to see Mom and Dad around noon today. They were okay. Mother was asleep in her wheelchair and her lips were really dry. Nikki said she had put some stuff on them to try to help. She ate very little at lunch. Dad fed her a spoonful of his mashed potatoes and she ate them. It was so cute, but sad. Dad ate really good. He dropped a few green peas on the floor and kept trying to pick them up. I told him it was okay, but he insisted they needed picking up so I went over and got them off the floor! Anyway, they were okay. love you, pat
