Mom had a visit from a dear friend, Robin, and she brought her some daffodils in a pot. She said they reminded her of mom. Like the yellow of the sun she brought sunshine in her heart. Mom had taught her daughter Macie how to crochet and she had crocheted a scarf for mom several years ago. Macie is at BYU now going to college. Robin and Rusty are dear friends from Delano that have moved to Bakersfield. When she heard that mom was not doing well she came by and saw her. It was hard for her to see mom so down and she cried as she left her dear friend.
Mom is resting peacefully and wakes up when I go into her room to offer her a few sips of drink or give her a little food. She only eats and drinks a tiny amount. She is not passing fluids so I think they will probably put in a catheter today when the nurse comes to see her. She will also get another bath which makes her feel more relaxed. Judith is a jewel and mom likes to see her come. She ate a little bit of cereal, tapioca pudding, jello, and yams yesterday.
Last night Ramon and Ashley came by and brought the girls. Mom woke up and got about 10 kisses from Lexie (Ashley's and Ramon's daughter) her great great granddaughter. I did not take a picture of them but will do that on their next visit on Saturday. Mom seems to enjoy the small children when they come by to see her. Many people in the Brimhall Ward are always asking about her and offering services.
Deanna called last night and she talked to her but she has such a hard time hearing everyone on the phone and she cannot speak very loudly anymore - really only soft mumbles. Her speech is very labored and she only speaks one word at a time very slowly so it is hard for her when you call.
She rested well last night and did not wake up only when I got up and offered her something to drink. This morning she wanted something warm so I made her some hot chocolate and she drank about a quarter of a glass of hot chocolate. She did not want to eat when I went in and asked her if she wanted breakfast. Maybe the hot chocolate will end up being her breakfast.
She sends her love to all of you, as do I.
