MOTHER-PART 12
Sunday
I visted Mother for alittle while today. She was sleeping but not resting. She would open her eyes and look around the room. My nephew and his family, from Goldsboro, visited with her for a few minutes.
She was really cold when they got her up for lunch. For a lack of something better, I put a sheet around her shoulders. She was wearing a thick housecoat, but was trembling from being cold. When she lived with me, she would be wrapped in an electric throw and still be cold.
She has one really good nurse that is trying to help me figure why Mother is declining so rapidly.
In about 6 weeks, Mother has gone from feeding herself to being fed, not interested in any conversation at all, (as in not talking) and I really am not sure that she recognized me today. Until Thursday, I would know from the look in her eyes, but could not tell today. Today when I talked with her, she would close her eyes and maybe give a very brief nod.
