Always so good to see you, Jamie! We TALKED and TALKED to Darah and then Nikki and seem to have made some progress with things. They're going to see about the appetite stimulant for Dad, give him some other fluids (gatorade, crystal light, milk, vitamin water, etc), get a urine sample and check it to be sure his UTI is gone, maybe let him eat in the big commons area so there won't be so much going on, see if the alcohol in the appetite med will help him sleep, etc. It was a lot of stuff. Darah actually seemed pretty nice and seemed to be 'thinking' about Dad and possibilities. We'll see. Bottom line is we don't want Dad just drugged and out of it. Darah is going to call Jamie with the possible drugs to help Dad sleep along with their dosage for Jamie to approve or not. Me, I don't know meds the way she and Judy do. Wish I did, but I don't. Anyway, we'll watch Dad and see how this goes. He was some better today---his color was better and he talked more reasonably UNTIL he got really tired and then he was yelling and standing up, etc. I asked him if he was sleepy and he said yes. Before we could cover him up, he was asleep! He doesn't do well tired! Sounds like some of the rest of us! Anyway, Mom was about the same. Margaret fed her because she does a really good job feeding Mom. Mom ate fine. Ok, I'm off to take the laundry out of the dryer that keeps buzzing like I'm deaf or something! Good grief! Where's my 'clicker' for that thing!!!! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie
