She doesn't eat much .... but today she refused to eat anything. I went at noon today. Sara was trying to get her to eat. She wouldn't eat or drink anything. She covered her mouth with her sweater & closed her eyes. She looked like she wanted to cry. She didn't eat breakfast. She did drink a cup of hot chocolate in the morning. Sara pulled the skin on her arm & showed how it stayed like that...meaning she was dehydrated. Sara says she's sleeping more. BUT....yesterday she was smiling at me when I stopped there at noon during lunch. She only ate a couple of bites. I brought her a small Snickers (her favorite). She ate it and thanked me. Sara said that after I left, she asked where Laraine went. Can it be true....did she really know me.... YaY! I got a video clip of her the other day....she smiled.
Today, it she looked like she wanted to cry....and I've seen that before...but for these 10 years that she's had dementia, I have not seen her cry. She's my mom....I don't want her to be this way... I want her to hug me. I want her to stand up & hug me.... I miss her hugs. I will cry for her.
