TGIF

Beth got up real early today to try to catch the doctor. Mom's doctor left on vacation and there is a new one covering but we had never talked to him. She succeeded and he said that all he was doing was keeping things the same until Mom's doctor got back. He said he would come back at noon and talk to Dad.

The rest of us got there around 9 and Mom was awake. She said they had turned off all the lights and it was a black, dark night. She didn't sleep to much. She started dozing off and would wake up. She told us us to "turn her off" a few times. She did that yesterday to. It felt like she was losing ground and we were all pretty quiet so she could sleep.

Again we went to lunch at Ricks - thanks again!! When we got back, Mom was having lunch and she did a good job of eating it. The best meal yet. She seemed stronger after eating and talked a bit clearer even if it wasn't more. She did real good again at dinner and it had the same result. She seemed a bit stronger.

She stayed awake longer after dinner and kept asking who was going and when. Finally it was time for Beth to take Mike and Christina to the airport and pick up Rachel. When she said good bye to Mike and then Christina she told them that she would still be here if they needed anything! How quickly it goes from "turn me off" to "I'll be here"?
