Just got back from visiting my mom. She’s getting progressively harder to engage. John and I got there just after lunch, but I fed her some junk food anyway. She’s not very interested in regular food, but she’s always interested in cookies, muffins and banana bread (today’s junk food). One of the caregivers said she’s not eating her food very well. She said mom barely opens her mouth for each bite she feeds her. I’ve noticed that too. Sometimes she’ll willingly take a full bite, but often it’s little bird bites.
John ran the Brea 8K today. His brother went with him. He ran the first mile, but walked the rest of it. He has been quiet today since then, so it clearly wore him out. I’m trying to get him to rest now, so hopefully that’ll give him a boost. He saw the signs around town
I had a great phone chat with my aunt (my mom’s sister) this week. She is so insightful. We talked about DNA testing, the book “The End of Alzheimer’s” and life in general. She is very supportive and encouraging.
