Thursday, 2/21

Talked to mom this morning.  Another rough night.   Guess she had to get dad in the shower this morning at 5:00, because he didn't make it to the bathroom.  He didn't give her a bad time, though.

Mom called me 5 times last night.    Today is the day she takes all of dad's meds to Chancellor, but needs to keep out enough of everything to get her though Monday morning.   I wrote everything down on Tuesday, and we talked about it over and over.   She is so scattered, she remembers very little of what we have discussed.    I walked her through everything last night, and then again this morning.  Going for dad'a protime this morning, and then once she gets the protime results, she will call the nurse at Chancellor, and then take all the meds to them.   Feel bad for her, this is much for her to absorb.

Thursday afternoon
Talked to mom.  She did get everything down to Chancellor, and was pretty emotional.  She can't believe this is happening, agreed with her.   The memory care does have an organ in the hallway, and dad will have to walk right by it at least twice a day.  Maybe he will get the inclination to play again.  She sounded pretty down, not sure she will call Lisa tonight.   Encouraged her to call her, gives her a break.   She sounded a little down, said 4 more nights with him.   Agreed that it is sad, but we need to remember the reasons for doing this.  And, dad will have more stimulation.  Will call her later tonight.
