I forgot to blog last night that Mom was in a deep dream state prior to Kimmy and I leaving. For about 90 minutes Mom was talking about seeing Uncle Elliott, her eldest brother. Elliott passed almost 5 years ago from Multiple Myeloma. Mom expressed being with him at a party and having fun. She said he looked really big. She had an intermittent smile throughout the hour and half. Most of what she was saying was difficult to understand. She did repsond to my questions.
This morning, Mom had a short window of time that she could stay focused. The majority of the day she had her eyes closed, was drifting off, mumbling and not making much sense. Today, was Mom's first day extremely exhausted, needing to use a camode next to her bed with assitance to transfer and could barely eat. She has lost her desire to feed herself nor does she have any interest in food.
Mom is not in pain and the Doctors are focusing on keeping her comfortable with her other symptoms. At this point with her body declining her symptoms are no longer important to describe on the blog. Just know that Mom is less aware of everything going on and is receiving immediate attention to keep her comfortable and pain free.
Poppie, Aunt Maxine, Aunt Carol, Mike, Cindy, Brian, Kimmy and I spent the entire day with Mom. Kimmy and I stayed late into the night with Mom as usual. It is amazing how busy Mom's mind is though she is not fully coherant. She would mutter statements that would have "Daddy, Brian, or Michael" in it. Nothing was making sense.
Again, thank you for your continuous love and support for Mom and the rest of the famly.
Karen.
