Today, Thursday, mom was more alert, have it on good authority that she ate her usual 60% of breakfast and a health shake/ensure.

Lunch not as much, although she did eat all of the fruit and 6-7 bites of zucchini. Drank 1/3 of ensure.

Seemed more alert than yesterday. Occupational therapy worked with her in the a.m. and PT in the afternoon.

Dr. Mayberry came by and is fully engaged, spoke with mom, and she responded cogently with him.

We're adjusting her Mirtazapine up from the lowest level a notch and adding a very low dosage of an amphetamine (name tomorrow) that has shown good results with elderly patients for appetite also.

Going to DC the lisinopril because she doesn't really have significant HBP now and it's thought that BP medicines in the elderly can decrease cognitive activity somewhat.

Lots of fine tuning going on to get her appetite back. Dr. Mayberry is positive and really staying on the case. Clearly he views mom as someone worth trying to save.
