Day 9

Last night was the first night on Seroquel- and it wasn't all I had hoped for- she slept fairly sound- but still hollered out in her sleep for Mother and also for her sister- Vada- She was extremely sleepy this morning when it was time for therapy but she still did a good job for Jamie- He is such a nice guy- I'm so blessed that God sent him to us- I know it was a God thing!
After therapy she was really tired and wanted to rest while I took a shower. I needed to go to the grocery store and run a few errands so Jerry stayed with her for a couple of hours. Bless her heart, when I got home she had used the bathroom in her diaper because of course, she didn't want to ask Jerry to help her go to the bathroom. But I took care of it quickly and went ahead and gave her a shower- my sister Jenny came around the time I was changing her and offered little or no help- she wouldn't even put lotion on mommas feet because she didn't want to touch her feet- can you believe it? Selfishness is all I can come up with for her- she is missing out on the joy of taking care of our mom- wonder who will take care of her when she gets old and sick? Not me. We ate supper that my husband had fixed- hamburger helper- and it was good- he has been such a huge help to me since all of this has happened and literally changed our lives.
I will never be able to thank him enough. We watched Tv until 8 when her sister called and she talked to her about 15 minutes- at 9:30, I gave her the other half of the Seroquel because she was still not able to sleep. Tomorrow we have therapy, then my friend Denise and her little boy- Luke are coming over for lunch and then we go to the geriatric therapist. I'm looking forward to playing with Luke and momma really enjoys being around little children, here's hoping we get sleep...
