May the 4th be with you. Yoda

 Happy Fourth of July and God bless America!! May the #4th be with you. #Yoda #maddog #alzheimers #amazinggrace

Mary's PJs and bedding has been changed and she's back to snoozing!

We're doing mostly good. Mary misses her parents and I gently remind her I miss my parents too but they're in Heaven with Jesus. If I tell her directly her parents are dead she either argues or breaks down with crying. She also worries that I'm leaving. I reassure her frequently that we're sticking together which always makes her happy.

 It helps to stay busy with fixing food, eating together, watching YouTube and sci-fi, sitting outside with our 90 year old neighbor, singing while I play the piano, napping.  

We use the best McKesson ultra adult diapers which is what Hospice started us with. We also use McKesson pads which means I only have to change the top sheet. 

If we cut back on fluids early she gets thirsty and her blood work indicated her kidneys were shutting down. She sometimes makes it all night with dry bedding and PJs but if she says she's thirsty I give her something to drink.
