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!
