Ok, today is Tues and I went to see Mom and Dad today. They were in the dining room waiting for lunch. They had coffee to drink and were calm. In fact Mom was asleep as were 90% of the people in that room! How weird is that!?! Anyway, Dad was trying to get Mom to sit up/wake up. He was talking with that slurry not making good sense voice! It took me a while before I could decipher what he was saying. He was looking for Jamie and Brittney! He kept saying where are they and they should be here by now, etc. I told him all the kids were grown and married and at work or school! LOL! Anyway, one of the aids told me that he probably would not be hungry. She'd fed him chips and salsa all morning. It was so sweet. She said everytime she ordered Mexican food she'd gotten to where she ordered Dad a bag of chips by himself. She said he'd sit around with them and eat. It was really cute. She said sometimes they make tuna sandwiches and fix it like a little picnic for just the two of them. I think they really do try. Anyway, Dad didn't eat everything on his plate---probably about 1/2. He did eat all his cake and some of Mom's cookies! LOL! My kind of eating---save room for that dessert! Mom, on the other hand, never really knew I was there. I fed her nearly everything she had for lunch. She was leaning in her wheelchair and had a hard time drinking (I got a straw) and even when she picked up a cookie, she couldn't seem to hold it nor get it to her mouth right. I mentioned this to Debbie and she said that Mom was eating REALLY good still! She said Mom had cleaned her plate yesterday at breakfast and lunch. I asked about Dad's appetite, and she said he was eating really good, too. I asked about the pneumonia, and she said he'd finished his meds. They're going to order another chest x-ray to be sure it's ok, but she said he seemed ok. She said Mom was sitting up at breakfast. I really do think they were both tired at lunch. Dad told me after lunch that he was worn out. Anyway, to me they were worse than they were about 10 days ago. Of course it was lunch time and they were tired. I asked Debbie if she thought Mom was worse. She said that Mom was sleeping more--they both would sleep more. She did say she thought Mom had gone down some. I don't know. Mom seems really 'away', but at the same time, Debbie told me they got into an argument over a cookie at lunch yesterday. I don't know. Mom is just bad. I asked about Dad's confusion and Debbie said it comes and goes. She said he was worse when he was tired. That's true. Anyway it was not a wonderful visit, but I did feed Mom and talked some to Dad with some sense. He did say 'you don't have to go, and be careful going home' when I left. I've got to schedule them both for haircuts again, too. Ok, that's it. Annie did fine today and when I called later this afternoon again, they said she was doing great. I'll pick her up after lunch tomorrow. They got all the stones out of her bladder. We'll see how this goes, too! Love you all, Jeanie
