Yesterday Mom did not get out of bed and was very quiet while I was there. She seems to be slipping away from us. Dr Sawyer came to visit and told us that we don't have a lot of time left, maybe a week or so, maybe less.
Lor had taken a crock pot full of chicken with veggies and plugged that into an outlet in the corner of Mom's room. That whole wing of Jubilee Manor smelled marvellous. Mom said that she would like some chicken but when the time came she refused. Later Greg, her nurse for the evening, brought her some ice cream and she allowed him to feed her a bit. My thought is that she is not ready for family to feed her yet. We are now allowed to help her drink some water.
Shirley came to stay with Mom overnight and Mom was so pleased when she heard. Then when Shirley arrived Mom was very happy to see her.
Emily is now enrolled in a day program so Lor is freer for Mom.
Many thanks to all who are sending their love and those who are sending me updates on their lives that take me away from my woes for a few minutes. I have now put an email address at the upper right corner of this screen for anyone who would like to send greetings to Mom or the rest of us(should have thought of that much sooner!)
I am still working - gives me some "normal". As normal as that place ever gets.
