Ethelyn Van Winkle

Since Sunday, it seems that all Mom does is sleep. Of course, that is only until I get into bed. Then, apparently a switch goes on and she gets restless and begins to talk and make noise.

This morning, after a somewhat active night, Mom insisted on getting up at 4:30. I have to lift her out of bed and set her in her roll-a-tor and wheel her out. She sat and slept for a while and then got hungry. After a few bites of food, she was ready to go back to bed. I changed her nightgown and she was asleep before her head hit the pillow.

She slept most of the day and then wanted to get up. She was probably up for an hour and a half, ate a few bites of dinner and then it was back to sleep. She’s sleeping quietly now, but I expect her to waken as soon as I go in.

Since she is not eating much, i think she is just worn out. It’s hard to believe that she can lose much more weight. She is noticeably thinner than she was even a couple of weeks ago. How much more can she lose?

Thanks again for your prayers.

Until next time…
