Mom was doing ok today. When I got there, around 7:30 this evening, apparently she was in the process of organizing a volleyball game (which turned out to be a soccer game and then a basketball game later on in our conversation)


"Oh good, maybe you can be our coach. I'm sure there's a rule book over there somewhere." 

 She was also wearing two pair of glasses and her shoes were on the wrong feet. But who cares? :-)

We talked about Trish's birthday coming up, and how old she was going to be, and Mom stayed generally in a good mood, asking lots of good questions to keep the conversation going. The nurse told me her sugar was just above 200, which for her is pretty low (yesterday it was 119). She told me she had told mom that she couldn't have a piece of cake tonight.

Then I went to put the supplies I brought her away, and found an oreo cookie on her kitchen table.  I have no idea where she got that from.  While walking her back to her room for the night she asked if I had bought Missy's birthday present yet.  Her short term memory gaps are definitely getting more noticeable.

I gave her a big hug, and told her I would see her tomorrow.
