Today is Wed the 18 of Aug. I went to see Mom and Dad today. I'm back to ok with LNC. There were two people sitting with Mom, Dad and two others today at their table helping to feed/encouraging them to eat. This is twice in a row their beds have been made, their rooms straight and a lot of people spoke to them! It was good. Mom was eating when I got there----eating like she was starving! I asked Nikki if they were still giving her the appetite stimulus and they are---it shows! Dad had not eaten but about half of his two pieces of meat and a few bites of cake. He had left all the green beans and mashed potatoes. Mom on the other hand had and was eating all of hers. I cracked up because when she'd eaten nearly every crumb on her plate she reached across and grabbed Dad's mashed potatoes. They were cold and in the shape of a ball. Mom picked them up and ate all of them like you'd eat an apple! LOL! She drank both of her glasses of liquids, and then Dad's when I gave it to her and then another one the worker brought to her! Feeding in NOT her problem! I don't think she knew me at all. She told me once to leave that alone it was hers---I was trying to feed her! LOL! I got her a wet rag at the end and she actually looked at me then. She smiled and just thanked me and said how sweet that was, etc. When we got Mom back to their room, she said she was freezing. I TRIED to get a hoodie on her, but she wouldn't straighten out her arm! She was making so much noise that one of the guys who works there came in to see if we were ok! LOL! I wound up putting that throw over her, too. She fell sound asleep. Dad on the other hand was not himself. I asked him if he was tired---he's not too good when he is. He kept saying he'd lost 5 wallets and 4 credit cards while he was there. He said he wasn't coming back to this place any more! LOL! while I'm trying to put on Mom's jacket, Dad hands me the pic off the wall saying she made this. I'm like, I know Dad, we hung it there for you. He then goes by their door and asks if I want the sign! (Meaning their name!) I took him outside for about 45 min thinking that might help. When I pushed him back inside he was like gosh it's cold in here. I pushed him all the way to their room and right up to Mom. Dad goes: where's mother? I'm like right there. He's like where? I said that's her sitting in the chair. Oh! He just wasn't with it, but I really think he was so tired. I asked if he'd slept all night, and they said yes. In fact they said after breakfast he'd taken a long nap! Who knows. The one guy wanted to know if they could maybe give Mom something in the morning when they first wake her up because she fights them so badly. I told him that they gave her seruquol (sp?). He said yes but it didn't do anything for her. I told him that I did NOT want her zombied out and I'd talk to all of you about it. He said he was worried she'd hurt herself---not them. Anyway, that's it Snit! I did mail off the letter back to the State of Missouri for unclaimed property in Mom's name. I had already sent one set in, but this time they wanted another paper notarized saying I did have current POA and that Mom was not deceased! Good grief! LOL! This had better be a TON of money or goods! LOL! We'll see! Love you all, Jeanie
