Mom is doing much better

Well tonight is goingto be a decidng point.  Mom is going to stay at her apartment tonight. For the last few days she has been staying at her place during the day but at night she would come over here.  It was like she was afraid to stay in her apartment overnight.  She announced to Laurie and I last night that she would be going home today.  I took her to the store earlier  to get groceries and she stocked up some.  It is a good sign.  When I took her medication to her this evening she had heated up a can of spaghetti O's and had ate the whole can worth.  This is something she generally would not do.  When I arrived she was eating ice-cream and a banana and toast.  It is good to see her eating this way.  She took her meds while I was there so that I knew she took them.  She seemed to be good, watching tv and eating away.  Later I took over her final med of the night and she was watching tv and reading the newspaper.  Again, another good sign.  I let her know if she needed anything that she could call or come over anytime day or night.
    I have even had a couple of her friends ( tenants) come tome and tell me how much better she is doing. They cannot believe how much she has improved this last week.
  I am glad to see the improvement myself as it has been a very hard thing to deal with. I have realized that I have been totally off-track from my normal routines. And I have missed a couple of birthdays in the process. 
I promise that I will make them up!  
Hopefully things will continue to get better with mom and things can get back to normal.  It is not fair to the other important people in my life for me to get so involved with taking care of my mom that I totally loose touch with them.  I hope you all will forgive me. I'm sorry!!
