There really hasn’t been much going on with mom to speak of. Sometimes no news is good news. I’m not sure if it’s been the changes in weather, the recent rainy days, or what but mom has been especially tired and lethargic these last couple of days. I went in to see her yesterday and she was very weak and didn’t speak much. She actually dozed off a couple of times when I was there. She’s still eating well (with help) which is good news, but her lack of energy and look on her face can be a little concerning. Yesterday she did have a different look, like something just isn’t right. Like I said, maybe the weather or maybe she is starting to come down with a cold. We’re keeping lots of eyes on her. The great thing about where she is is that the staff who work with her really care a lot about her. They stop in frequently to check on her (even though she has her own private duty caregiver). I’m just so relieved to know that she’s not sitting alone for most of the day.
Mom has a couple of friends going to visit today. Her faithful neighbor, H and another neighbor who I’m not familiar with. Hopefully this will lift her up a little bit. There are days when mom looks good, seems content, and is just hanging out but doing well. Then there are days when she looks like she’s just running out of steam. Unfortunately to me, yesterday looked like the latter. I’ll post if there are any updates or notable changes.
