An ok night

Chris came home last night. She was pretty alert and talking a little bit. I made her some broth which she ate. She was then asking for some orange sherbert but fell asleep before I could give it to her. She slept all night and woke around 7:30 this morning. She was extremely confused. She had not clue what day it was or that it was morning. She looked at me like I was crazy when I told her it was Wednesday. She then asked for broth. I told her it was morning and asked her if she wanted cream of wheat instead and she said ok. When I brought it to her she said “this isn’t broth”, so I took it away and made broth instead. I made her the broth and she was shaking so much that she couldn’t feed herself. I put the broth in a tall mug and she couldn’t lift the mug either, so then I put a straw in the mug and she was able to drink it that way.

Every day is getting harder. Thank goodness she has around the clock care for her through hospice. I don’t know what we would do if we didn’t. She has a couple of hours of day where she is alert and not really confused, but that is it. Before long the confusion is going to get much worse.
