So Alvin's room is next door to Mom and Dad? Has it always been? Or instead of moving him to a different wing all together as they told Jamie, they moved him next door? Help me understand this!!! Insane~~~ As for the appetite stimulant and the insurance not paying it, we can use her $40 and just buy it and give it to her ourselves~  It's just he insure looking stuff isn't it? Pat I know how you feel about the Alzheimer End Stage but you're right that we can't go there!  If I had to really look at it headon, I'd go off the deep end pretty fast!lol  We'll stay as upbeat as we can for as long as we can.  On a different note, I  finally did make it to El Paso~  Finally being the major word!  They never came to push my wheelchair even though I had an hour and a half to make my connection and I missed my flight, had to wait 3 hours for the next one and even though I requested a supervisor and so did the gate people, one never showed up!  We really are living in a 3rd world country I'm thinking!  I did get put in first class for my flight from Dallas to El Paso but it was way too little, too late.  The nice guy at the gate gave me the phone number, address to complain and he was filing a complaint himself.  At least I'm here and my grandsons, daughter and son in law were glad to see me!  Logan said "Nanny why did it take you SOOOO long to get here!!!lol  Love to all, Judy
