A little better today...

Mom's still mad, but calmer today.  She did just a little PT, and she was sitting with Dad when I got there.  I am still very concerned about her.  She was still mad at all she was mad at yesterday (mainly me), but she was less agitated about it.

When I left tonight, I told her I loved her like I do every night, regardless of her mood, and tonight she said, "I love you too, you know I do...I just get mad sometimes...And frustrated."  I told her that I know, and she should try and get some sleep.  She really hasn't slept in 2 days.  She was understandably tired tonight.  It is so hard for me to figure out...She knows what she is doing, but it is like she can't control it, or just doesn't care to control it.  We will get to the bottom of it, but it is just a matter of time.  

She started having trouble hearing.  She claims it has been coming on, but today, she can't really hear anything.  I am going to see if I can get her an appointment with her ear doctor to see what the problem is.

Dad was ok tonight.  I think hospice came in today and put him back on oxygen.  We are not sure why...If there is any actual reason, or if they just thought since the tank was there, they would use it...We should find out tomorrow.  He ate about half of his dinner, and I got him to eat most of his pineapple sherbet, and some of his chocolate Ensure.  He was not as lucid as he has been, but he was awake.  

At one point, Mom and I were sitting in Dad's room, and the nurse came in to give Dad his night time pills, and Mom was complaining about the dining room and the nursing staff, and my Dad said "Dorth...Knock it off!"  She said "what" and I told her that Dad told her to knock it off and that he had her number!:)  She laughed a little, and was happy to hear Dad talk.  It made my night.

Much love!
