Hi--good and bad the last couple of days. Mom's spirits are still hopeful, so that is great. She had a fall yesterday, trying to get to the bathroom herself at 6:30 am. She fell pretty hard, but luckily was not hurt. The good news in that is that she was up trying to do it herself. That is an improvement over the past few days. It really upset Mom when she fell, I think she was just really frustrated not being able to do things. She was up sitting in the chair for an hour last night, watching me feed and play with Drew. She seems to be getting weaker and weaker. This morning she didn't feel like eating, but I managed to get a half a bagle and half a Boost in her before she went back to sleep. She wants to get up today and sew, and Martha is coming by to help her get up and change her bed, etc. It remains to be seen if she will actually be able to get up. Minerva said that she didn't get up at all yesterday during the day. Her last chemo pill is tonight!!!!! That was the first thing she said to me this morning. Drew continues to bring a smile to her face every morning. Mom and I have figured out he likes her more than anyone else because they understand each other. You should have seen him fascinated with her walker last night. I could just see the ideas spinning around in his head--the places he could go if he could just get a hold of one of those walkers!!! Keep Mom in your prayers.
