Better But Some Strange Dreams

Ed and I went to see Mother after church and I fed her as much of her lunch as I could get in - I'm pushing the protein as the doctor said. She ate most of an egg salad sandwich. She's trying to feed herself but is shaking so badly that she spills. She knows she's shaking - told Faith (the young, wonderful caregiver who we hired when Mother was still at home and has visited her several times) yesterday. Today her whole body is shaking, not just her hands. Everyone says that when her electrolytes get balanced that should stop. I'm wondering why it's taking so long to get them balanced??

She's definitely speaking much more clearly. She is mostly lucid but sometimes imagines things. She's very hung up today telling us how the court house in Dobson (her hometown in North Carolina) is being remodeled into a "domicile" by some doctors and how nice it looks. She said the upstairs windows have these huge long drapes of lace and how beautiful they are and the ceilings are just lovely. When Ed left the room she said that was good because he could look around and see how beautiful the decor was.
