I feel like I'm taking over the blog since the last two notes are mine! Am I writing to myself??LOL Jeanie and I went to see Mom and Dad yesterday at LNC and they were in the cafeteria since it was shortly after lunch. Mom was still eating and the last person there!~LOL She was scarfing!! She had her spoon going and her hands both. She was even picking up the food she dropped on the table and eating it! She tried drinking her yogurt but not much would come out that way!~LOL She had VERY little to say really but acted at first like she was glad to see us, or maybe it was just someone familiar==not sure which. She then fell asleep instantly after eating and even though we pushed her around to the common area, she slept. They finally just put her to bed and she was sleeping sooooo peaceful when we left. Dad on the other hand ate VERY little. He said he had but you couldn't prove it by his plate! He had eaten his ice cream and drank his coffee. He said they had had it piled high but not sure about that. He had all of one piece of his meat and about half of the other, plus his potato salad left for sure. His cold is better though and he looked good so maybe he just wasn't hungry. We figure he had eaten all his breakfast. He wanted tobacco and we got that and he seemed fine. I started to not press my luck and drive back home yesterday afternoon but Jonesboro had a bad thunderstorm and we decided that I'd stay and Jeanie and I would go back at breakfast today. I'm SO glad I did because Mom recognized me! She seemed excited when she saw us and was so happy, happy, happy. She was almost giddy today! Whatever I'll take it and then she asked me later "Judy where are you going?" Yea!!!~ I do realize that it was a fluck but it made my day and I was so happy for the blessing! Dad was cute because when we were coming down the hall and he saw us, he said "Oh, there's my family". Adorable! He looked good again today and maybe even better than yesterday. He had different clothes on and he said that they had given him a shower today. They were about to give Mom one when we left. Right before we left she had that "mad look where she locks her lips straight across and just stares at you" and Jeanie and I were both thinking we had pressed our luck and should have left 5 min earlier, but she went back to happy as we were leaving so all is well. I wish every visit could be like this and so I'm thinking I'm going to try to go about this time--around 7:45 since she will have had a night's sleep, breakfast and just sitting before she goes back to sleep. Okay girls, get those notes posted so I'm not talking to myself!LOL Love to all, Judy
