Happy Thanksgiving All~
We had dinner (Ruth, Dan, Colin, Blain and Myself) and about the time we were just about finished, Lonnie, Marcia and Ariel came and ate with us. I tried to feed Mommy some mashed potatoes and gravy but she ate only 2 bites and then spit it out. She hasn't eaten enough to measure since Monday. She takes small amounts of water in ice chips. Hospice has been here several times and they have told us that she is in the end stages of her disease (dementia). She isn't getting any of her meds as it seems to make her gag when she has any food. I even gave her Zofran (for nausea) this morning and waited awhile but she still didn't want to eat. She has lost a noticeable amount of weight, I could really tell when I came back from being gone for a few days.
Based on the last few months and the rapid decline I have seen, I don't think it will be long at all before she joins Daddy in Heaven. You all are welcome to come up anytime to visit.
