Today was kinda ehhhhh. Her anxiety level was up and so was her agitation. When I arrived she had just finished folding wash cloths (a task they give her almost every day bc she hates to sit still and she enjoys it). As soon as I walked up, all in a huff she said, "are you about ready or what"? We wheeled around the facility to keep her mind off of her lunch that had not been brought to her room quite yet. She was grumpy as we all tend to get when we are hungry. She ate ALL of her lunch...and informed me that "although it was a good lunch, I DID NOT care for those peaches"! She was more confused in the afternoon and in the evening. She was calling out for Co and Terri both. When looking at old pictures Toni and Rod sent (thank you guys) :) she said Mark Cross was "randy williams"? She also mentioned "travis glass"? Ring any bells? Oh, and when quizzing her about those pictures she got the picture of Debbie and Dennis right. One minute she knew who I was and then the next she called me Renee and wanted me to take the cookies over to Norma and remind her of the NB's. When I asked her what the NB's were she informed me they were nudie pictures with birds in them. Yeah. For some reason she said a lof of things like this today....just not making much sense. Perhaps not enough sleep?? Not sure. She LIT UP when Jessica and Mark brought her some yummy cookies (you all know what a sweet tooth she has...so thanks Jess;) she also was happy to see them. She was sure giving Johnny a hard time this evening too.....although she smiled a huge smile when he said, "hey good lookin". She smiled at Amelia this evening too....very real and genuine. I love that smile. Tomorrow is another day for her to shine. Hang in there Mom, we all have our cloudy days. Love you!
