Ok here is a report on Jeanie and my visit to LNC today.  When we first got there, Mom was in the dining room.  She was fine-typical Mom with her eyes mostly closed and jabbering.  She did have on one of the new outfits that I had gotten her, so that was good.  Jeanie went to find Dad while I sat with Mom and then after a while I went to look for Jeanie and Dad both.  Well as soon as I rounded the corner, I could tell by Jeanie's face Dad wasn't very good. One of the girls there had told Jeanie that she didn't know what was going on with Dad because he hadn't wanted to get up today and they had fed him breakfast in bed!! What???!!! He was mostly sleeping and/or not responding.  He said he was cold and his skin was freezing so I have no doubt he WAS cold.  His hands were cold even.  Jeanie got him a sweat shirt jacket and then the prayer shawl quilt I had sent down with Jeanie.  We rolled him to the dining room and he was literally sleeping with his head dropped forward in his chair at the table.  I got pretty worried about him then too but he eventually roused up some and Jeanie got him coffee.  He started watching some of the people in the kitchen area and jabbering some.  I asked him if he remembered Pat was there yesterday and he said yes she was.  I asked if Jeanie had been there and he said yes, and I asked if Judy had been and he said yes so I'm covered!lol  When the trays came, he started right in eating while I fed Mom.  Jeanie was off looking at the tv because there was supposedly a tornado in Leachville or somewhere close!  It got black and poured down.  They called a Code Yellow, Phase 1 while we were there (It had been totally hot and sunny when we went in!!!) We all had to stay in the dining room and away from windows.  It didn't go to Phase 2 at least!  Not sure what that would have entailed!! I was sitting there thinking" I'm going to die in this place with Mom and Dad and all these strangers!!!lol  Luckily that didn't happen!  Mom ate great!!! She is so good at eating and opens her mouth faster than you can put it in!  She drank from her glass great too with that thickening stuff in it.  She didn't have yogurt or ice cream either at first and of course I asked for it and they brought it without a problem.  Jeanie helped Dad eat and I'm thinking he ate about 50% but maybe it was more.  Jeanie said he ate enough and I heard him tell Jeanie he was about full and there was more food there than he could eat.  Like I said, he was better when we left and was really tired.  I personally think he was exhausted!! Nikki was there and I heard Jeanie talking to her about the incident with the other man that doesn't like Dad but not sure what was said so Jeanie will write something about that I'm sure.  One of the girls said Dad had gone to bed at 8 and then Nikki said he was rowdy most of the night, so again not sure about what the story is.  I really think the little nap Dad took perked him up.  He was looking and smiling across the table at Mom too and commented about her liking to eat, lol. One of the male aides came in and was laughing and talking with Dad and Dad just smiled at him and you could tell he liked him a lot.  Now Mom's clothes issue--I asked to speak to the laundry person and it was the one I thought, and her name is Shirley.  She was super nice and I told her that half the stuff in Mom's closet was not hers.  I told her that we  bring things there and/or buy things that we want to see Mom in and the aides are pulling all these horrible things and putting on Mom.  I told her that Mom was always so prideful and would have a fit if she could see what she was wearing most of the time.  She told me that they had put some of a lady who had died clothes in Mom's closet and that is what she was wearing.  She told me to take out all the stuff that we didn't want, wasn't hers, etc and she would haul it out.  We took a garbage bag full out of there!  She's left with about 5 outfits now so if anyone finds things for her and can take them down there, it would be great.  Sweatpants without elastic at the ankles would be fine.  Long sleeves I think is all she needs and nothing short sleeve because of her thin skin and also because it's cold there!  Dad had gotten a shower earlier today and I think that's part of why he was cold.  He also didn't have his hat on at first and he looks totally different without it! Dad probably doesn't need any shortsleeves in his closet either!  Okay, I'm sure I left stuff out/off but I just drove home 3 hours and I'm pooped!lol  If I think of anything more, I'll post again.  Not the best visit but not the worst either!  They were okay when we left which is better than reverse order! Love to all, Judy
