Waiting

Just got back from being over there for a couple of hours. Dad had got her in her chair, she drank some juice and took some pills but that's about all. She's been dozing in her chair this whole time. We put on the light classical music, and I also read a few poems to her, even though she did not respond.

No word yet from the hospice people. Snow is coming down hard today. Dad is hanging in there. He posted on the Alz.org forum, in the caregivers section, about our experience with the over dose and the decline into what appears to be Stage 7. A few people replied, saying to keep her hydrated, keep in touch with the doctor, and that nobody knows for sure if this leads to the end. Sometimes they bounce back, other times they don't.

So, we are in a waiting zone for now.
