Jeanie, Jamie and I went to see dad today. He didn't have on his glasses or have his teeth in when we got there and therefore didn't even look like himself! The nurse had told us as soon as we walked in that dad had refused to put his teeth in at breakfast but he had eaten good. He had gotten a shower today too and was clean but had already gotten his shirt dirty. The 2 aides were going to change it before lunch but we said to wait till after lunch. We also said that since dad was so cold we had brought tee shirts and wanted him to have them. We were impressed that they remembered and put one on him along with a clean shirt before taking his nap. He ate good at lunch after they finally found his teeth! They were all in a panic cause they had been in his room but weren't there later when we asked for them. They all apologized for that and I have no clue where they found them but evidently housekeeping had taken them from his room!! Why??? No clue! Dad is just SO bad is about all I can say. There were maybe 2 things he said that I could tell. I was talking to him about having 6 girls and named them to him. When I asked him afterward who I was, he said Judith Ann. The other thing was that. Handed him a fork to eat with and he commented that there want any food on it. Oh and he yelled Margaret once. Jamie said I love yu to him when she left and he said I love you too and he said the same to me before I left after I told him I loved him too. He did eat good but only because I fed him. He had NO clue what to do with his silverware! I handed him a spoon and after finally getting it in his hand, he put the handle in his mouth. When did that happen??? He has taken such a nosedive in these 6 weeks since Mom has died. It scares me and makes me sad both. Jamie and I went by the cemetery to see Mom's headstone since the date of death is on there now and then Jeanie and I went by today again to see it. It's really peaceful out there to me for soe reason, Jeanie and I said since its on a bit of a rise, it looks stately. Guess that's all I remember for now. It's all sad! Love to all, Judy. Oh and Pat it was so awesome seeing Molli and Margaret! They are both adorable and baby Margaret could come home with me any day! I'd just sit and hold her till she could walk!!!lol She's a beautiful baby!!!! Seriously gorgeous!

Went by to check on dad & to leave my check but he was sound asleep. He didn't have his teeth in, so he did not look good at all. When he's sleeping that hard I don't want to wake him. There was no worker at all on the hall for me to talk to so I don't know anything new. I had a good visit with Molli & Margaret. They are two precious girls! You just forget how tiny newborns are. So glad I got to see them. I'm sorry I'll miss seeing all of you. Maybe next time. Love, Pam

Totally agree about Molli's blog and I left her a comment on how impressed I am with them and what a blessing they have for knowing that God has his hand in all of this and it will be fine! he has this covered! Love, Judy

Just finished reading molli's entry on their blog! I am more pressed and proud of her than words could ever say or convey! What awesome parents they are and will continue to be! God bless them all! Love you all, jeanie

My check went out with the mail this morning and I put his name and that number you gave us Jeanie on the check plus a note I put in the envelope!!! Don't want them missing who to credit!! I'll see some of you Friday!! Love, Judy

I sent my check yesterday.  I put a note in there and I wrote Dad's name on the check at the bottom.  See ya'll this weekend. love u, pat

I've already made plans to come in on Thursday because we are celebrating Jim's birthday on Friday, but if Thursday is not a good time then I'll slip away Friday and come back in. I broke a tooth Sunday night & now getting another crown. I've got two crowns in the works plus a partial! Crazy!! I'm planning on going to see dad on Thursday & dropping my check off for his room charge. I sure hope he's better this time than last week. Hope to see you all soon. Love, Pam

I'd like to come see Molli and Margaret! I have blood work, mammogram and a basketball game in Thursday night...no I can't miss the ballgame!:) I thought I would drive over Friday morning and see Dad and then come on into Jonesboro..if you're up to a little company Jeanie!!haha I'd like to go see Mom too...been missing her so much lately! I'll have to head back Saturday morning pretty early..Murray State has their last regular season home game that night..no I can't miss the ballgame!!:) What is the plan for getting together?? I'm so excited about seeing Margaret!! Love you, jamie

I called Jamie to ask her if she was coming and she has something on Thursday but said she might come on Friday to see dad and Margaret and spend t he night, going home on Saturday.if that's her plan I might do the same thing. I'll be there one day so just leave it t that and think how pleasantly surprised lull be when I show up!!lol. I need to call the doctor about changing my Prilosec to something else since heartburn is killing me again! Yuck NOT fun!! Love to all, Judy

Dad does have a UTI---Tim called me Sat night about 8:30 to say that he did and they were starting him on Augmintin (sp?) for 10 days. I went Mon to see him and he is just SOOOOOOO tired! He went back to bed right after lunch-Debbie was feeding him when I got there. He'd eaten pretty well. I don't think he knew me---if he did he didn't much act like it mattered to him! LOL! I cracked up because either Flo or Della (I think it was Flo) stuck out her cheek towards Dad and he puckered up and kissed her cheek when she leaned in! How sweet was that. He only had his bottom dentures in---I didn't ask. I know that he's had some problems with the lower teeth, so maybe they're just trying that out! I did get his papers filled out and sent in where he was up for re-evaluation! Good grief! Any news about Margaret and when anyone is planning on coming to see her?! Love you all, Jeanie

Jerry and I went to see Daddy today, but he was asleep.  They said he had gone back to bed sometime after breakfast. I talked to the nurse and he said that his sugar had been fine, but he didn't know about any test results. Anyway, not a very productive visit.
Molli, Marty and Margaret are going to be here all Thurs. , Fri. and Sat.  She would love for ya'll to see Margaret.  Let me know if you can and when would be the best time.   She weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. at the dr. visit on Thurs.  She's so precious.  Hope everyone is doing great!  Love you all, pat

Pam and I met at LNC today to see dad. We got there about 11:30 and dad was sound asleep. The girl there wasn't Margaret but she is built like her with black short hair. I've seen her but no clue what her name is. Anyway she said dad was up all night and this morning at breakfast he ate good but was kinda combative. He was worn out so they put him in bed. He was sleeping soooooo good that Pam and I told them to let him sleep through lunch. He looked awful without his teeth and his mouth standing open! He was warm but yet his face felt waxy if that makes sense. I know he had on a clean shirt because the girl picked upmhismdorty one off moms bed and said he had gotten gravy on it and she had changed it. After Pam left the speech lady came in and we talked about what foods dad was going to get now and she said that yesterday he had the soft items we mentioned to Darrah and she said he did really good and had eaten everything for her. She said that with him getting the protein shakes that should be fine instead of meat. She was super nice. Debbie came in and said that she thought maybe dad had figured out mom wasn't there and he was just tired now. She said she knew it was hard on us seeing dad like he is right now after just losing mom so recent. They dont have the urine test results back yet. Pat if you read this before you go on Sunday could you take your clippers and give him a haircut? I
His hair is getting so long and they still haven't cut it since he lady is rarely there! I hate not seeing dad
Ikehes always been where you feel someone is in there buthe wasn't in there today which makes 2 visits in a row for me! One girl said he was really good yesterday so maybe I'm just hitting it wrong! I wish! love to all, Judy Oh Pat, I got the sweetest thank you card from Molli today and she is hoping to bring Margaret to Jboro around 2/7 or so?? I'm going to come see baby Margaret when she comes so be sure to let us know!! love, Judy
