Just got home from visiting with Mom and Dad and it was an ok visit. Mom was literally the same to me except she didn't really say much other than stop or quit. We had one of the girl's cut Mom's fingernails cause they were so long and she had scratched her face today. She has her fingers all clutched too and we got a rolled washcloth in her palm so she wasn't digging into her hand. She ate good at lunch. Dad wasn't eating much when we got there but I took his fork and got him to eat at least half plus ice cream. One of the girl's gave him a piece of a candy bar and coke too!! Lol He really is garbled in his speech and the only thing I know he said really was something about a cigarette! We told him he has a birthday soon and he said "sure nuf?" lol!! We were saying he was going to be 92 and later he told me he was going to be 92 so he remembered. I asked about how many kids he had and he sat there a long time but said 5. Jeanie said that was right cause I had asked how many other kids he had since we told him Ona to get him started! Lol. Moms cough is still not good but maybe she's not coughing as often. Jeanie asked about Dad's weight and they are weighing him in a chair now since the girl said he won't stand for her any more but told us that the weights are different standing vs sitting??? We didn't understand but today in his chair she said he weighed 135! We aren't sure what that would have been standing but they told us that sitting you weigh less because of gravity???Anyway Jeanie said to weigh him sitting from now on then so we could keep upmwith his weight. Mom had gained a pound and weighs 126 they said which seems low! Jeanie asked Debbir about if they had sent a urine specimen in to make sure Dad's UTI is gone and she said it was on her list of to do. Ok I think that's about it! Love to all, Judy
