All is well

I was able to stop in an see mom again today. She is doing well. Her care taker said yesterday she was a toddler and today she was a young adult. Frustrated she could not communicate clearly with us. She did try to sing with ds17, her care taker and I, That was the first time in a long time she has tried to do that so I was glad to hear it.

Mom has a new Social Worker

On Monday the 11th the DHS lady Vera; social worker, Mom's care taker, Hospice team which included moms nurse Mary, Maria social worker, B social worker intern, Sara social worker and myself all met. I am not sure why we all met but I do know instead of Sara being our social worker Maria will be now.

Mom is generally doing well to fair. Mentalty we never know who she will be when she wakes up in the morning. She is over medicated when she spend her 5 days with hospice but not most of the time.

Mom is doing well

Backing to Friday, I was about to grab the phone and call to check on mom when I got a call from Black Hawk County DHS. sigh. So I dared not call and ruin the surprise visit soon coming. Saturday, the DHS lady called again yet we missed connecting again. So I was advised to go talk to her in person. Which I did Monday was soon as I could. Mom looked good. I do not know if she knew who I was or not. I had a good talk with the DHS lady and mom's care giver. The DHS lady said she found no abuse, like me she is growing weary of these repeated accusations. She said she would not keep her grandma there. Yet I still remember the hospice nurse telling me mom get better care there and will live longer.

Her caregivers cousin she took care of went on to glory last Friday evening. Pray for them both to be comforted.

Mom has been not eating from time to time since July. I thought it was just since Christmas.
