I did not hear from Darah on Friday, so I'm assuming that means that Dr Parten did not make rounds on Friday.  If I don't hear from her today, I'll call first thing in the morning.  Also, I really didn't get any info on an alternative sleeping aid that wasn't prescription....they just don't give OTC drugs...has to do with state/government rules and regs on drug distribution.  I will check with Darah about LNC's policy for OTC drugs.  Pat, glad Dad was good...he scares me when he's struggling mentally.  Mom looked so good last week when I was there.  She responded to me when I rubbed on her and spoke in her ear. She's still in there...just sometimes harder to find than others.  I'm cleaning today and working on a chair that I'm painting.  Got some things moved to the sunporch this weekend, but still not exactly settled on stuff out there!!  For some reason, I've kind of hit the wall...I think the "newest" has worn off and now I'm having a hard time getting motivated!! Oh well, some veg time will do me good I guess!!  Sun is shining today and I'm off to walk a little before starting back into cleaning!!  Love you,  Jamie
