Ok Jeanie and I went to see Mom and Dad yesterday morning around 10 I believe it was and they were both in bed sound asleep. I asked Nikki if they had been up and had eaten, etc and she said yes they had been but were tired and they had put them down to take a nap only a short time earlier. She said that they were doing fine so Jeanie and I didn't want to wake them up. We were on our way to Memphis to pick out Jeanie's granite for her counters and planned on going back that afternoon as we told Nikki we would but it was drizzling raining almost all day, road construction had traffic in a dead stop and by the time we got home it was 5 or after and we didn't really want to go at supper time and just waited to go this morning. We got there today around 9 and Mom was sleeping but Dad was awake. Again they said Mom hadn't been asleep long and she looked totally peaceful and was in fact snoring some. Dad at first looked at Jeanie and didn't seem to register for a sec but then he did and was glad to see us. He called me Judith Ann so I know he knew me too which was nice. He oohed and ahhed over Maci and kept talking about her red hair. He said some weird things that didn't make any sense , for example something about Missy in the hospital. Well it turned out that the lady who rooms next to them actually had gone to the hospital so we think he was talking about her. Mom eventually got up and looked good I thought. When they rolled her out into the large area and in front of me she said "oh hi, when did you get here" or something like that==not my name of course but seemed to know I was familiar. Something about her eyes is weird most of the time though like she's blind. It's strange! She does see though cause she commented about "whose baby" concerning Maci. I fed her a whole pack of those big grandma cookies though and she drank 2 cups of apple juice and commented about how good it was. I told her that she looked so pretty and she said "awww no I don't" which made sense. Then she said something about those kids and James and I did something so she knew about James at least. She didn't acknowledge Dad really while we were there though. Dad had his bottom teeth in weird as if they were on the side of his mouth. We asked him about them and he said they were fine and not bothering him but we told him that he needed to rinse his mouth and put them back in again before he ate lunch. Hopefully they did that since the staff mentioned it too after we did. Mom had on Dad's socks and someone else's shoes which was weird! The shoes fit her but they weren't hers. Jeanie and I are going to try to weed out their clothes and throw stained ones, especially Mom's in the trash when I go back. We'll go through the community closet too and try to locate what we can't find and then restock with Mom some new shirts since hers are so stained. Bless her heart the outfit she had on was those pajama looking bottoms with pink and white something and that top that matches with a hood. It's really stained but I think clean. They said Mom had eaten breakfast which was a biscuit, jelly and bacon. Someone would have had to feed her though cause she could barely find her mouth with the cookie I had given her. I ended up feeding most of it to her. It wasn't a bad visit at all though overall but it's just sad to see our Mom not in that body that we always thought as her. Her teeth are so ground up and horrible that she would just die if she recognized her surroundings enough to notice her teeth. Okay, that's it from me. Jeanie may post what I missed!lol Love to all, Judy
