Saturday? Days blend together lately.
Visited mom tonight for dinner, which apparently she had refused to eat at all. I had the nurses aide bring some soup back and she ate the whole bowl with a little prodding, also drank 1/2 ensure and had half a dozen bites of egg salad sandwich.
She was in a very different mood/condition from every day of the past week. At a complete loss to understand what exactly had changed excepting the newest drug that she was put on to stimulate her appetite. Turns out it is Ritalyn and she has been on since Thursday. With the change I saw I called the doctor and am having it put on hold until I speak with him about the side effects.
She seems more confused/disoriented today than at any time in the past 10 days plus, additionally she was leaning forward in her wheelchair complaining of being very tired.
Marge and Herb were there and spoke to her also. She made mention of wanting to just go.
Again, this is a radical change from yesterday when she ate all of her meal and was in decent spirits. Basic sea change today.
We'll see tomorrow when tomorrow comes. We did say goodnight and see you tomorrow and she said "I'll be here"
