July 9

Mom is either anxious or sedated and neither is good. Today we told her that we were invited to the neighbours' for dinner and then after work she asked me to stay with her and I agreed. About 1730 she remembered that we had been invited out and insisted that I go. I told her that I would take my cell phone with me should she want to call. She couldn't remember the number and when I returned from the neighbours' she had called once on her phone and once on mine, less than an hour after I left her. That haunted voice on the answering machine will be with me forever. Lor and Emily are leaving tomorrow so Lor went back in tonight to spend a last few minutes with her.
