Really tired....

Visitors: We are allowing Family to visit. There are so many family members who would like to visit with her, we need to limit visitors. Thank you for your concern and caring thoughts, we appreciate your prayers for Mom.

Today, Mom's mental state is not that good. She did participate when the Speech Therapist came to work with her, but, she does not want to eat very much food orally. The doctors have increased her "liquid" diet, but she is not eating on her own.

Could it be my cooking? I brought some Cha-zuke (sp?) rice, ume and green tea...not my favorite, but, Mom used to like it...and she had maybe 3 bites...Gary and Dean left to go to the Japanese store to buy some oyako donburi...maybe Mom will eat a little of the egg and rice.

Her favorite (albeit "only") nephew, Alan, is here to visit. Her Kawanami aunties also came to the hospital to visit. They were happy to see her eat a little...but, she still isn't eating enough.

Alan helped me cut up and feed Mom some udon that Dean and Gary bought. She ate about 4-5 spoonfuls...it's a start.

Dean still is clingy, but not as bad as yesterday. The visitors seem to help him a little...today, he was rubbing Mom's legs with powder....
