Girl's night September 17th

When I picked Mom up on Friday afternoon around 3 I greeted with a big hug and smile which was wonderful but I soon noticed she seemed more confused than normal. Upon asking Amanda, her home health person, she confirmed my fear of her being way more confused lately. It seems the Dr took her off her meds that were making her clearer yet causing her to be more anxious, shaky and feel nauseous and "drugged". They are still tweaking her medicine as it can take a long time so confusion just might be part of the deal for a little while. And, when I say confusion, I mean CONFUSION. Maybe she was just having an off night but it seemed like it was everything she was confused about and a lot of it just didn't make any sense at all. Usually when I repeat some of her "logic" back to her she will recognize how silly it sounds and admit she is just confused but she was standing by her words on Friday. She even told Amelia to hand her Grandma (referring to me) something and when I corrected her in saying I was indeed not Amelia's Grandma she corrected herself and said, "Oh sorry, hand this to Aunt Angie" then insisted that I was never married, Brent was Co's (her sister) boyfriend, I never had a baby and Amelia was HER child. UGH. Even after I showed her pictures of me having Amelia she STILL argued her point. She also kept wanting to walk out to "the front of the store (house) to check on the customers". Other than a few difficult moments, Me her and Amelia still had a good time on our girls night. We made a "sucker cupcake" (will post a few pics of this), gave her a manicure and pedicure(and shaved her legs in the process), made "spooky cookies" as Amelia likes to call them :) here are a few pics of the "sucker cupcake" lol.
