Christmas Cont'd

Well, I got Mom out of bed at 3pm for Christmas dinner. Needless to say, she was in her own world. Unable to hold her own weight up, we followed her around holding her arm, so she did not fall. At the dinner table she was feeding herself  invisible food with her invisible silverware, she looked cute because she would say "mmmm" after every invisible bite. I have noticed a sharp decline in mom since last week, even as early as yesterday. Hospice informed me that she would have days like these and that they would become more frequent. For those who saw Mom in the hospital, can recall the strange hand movements she would do. Well she is back to doing them again, grasping for things that aren't there, pulling invisible strings, folding and shaking out invisible towels and other random movements. I suppose we will see what tomorrow brings, but tonite was the first I have seen this behavior since her stroke and the first night I haven't been hit or yelled at by mom, which is a BIG plus. Let's continue to pray that God do his will and not let Mom suffer anymore than she has to.
