We've been going every weekend, and I've been making what I hope is appealing home made food for them.
They didn't eat all of what I took them last week, but they've also gotten some groceries from friends, so hopefully, they didn't eat it just because they have so much in the house right now....and not because they've stopped eating again.
Mom continues to lose weight, though, and Dad says she sometimes really tries to refuse her meds. He said last night was a tough fight, but she finally took them.
Dave worries that Dad's memory isn't tip top, and that he might forget to make sure she takes her meds.
Last week, she was bright and she knew who I was for the first time in weeks, and she was feeling good. It seemed like she was firmly on the road to recovery.
But today, not so much.
Today, she was caught in a loop, and was not in our reality. She kept saying "9.9 9.9 9.92. 9" etc...no idea what that was about.
So Dad said he was going to try to get her in to the psychiatrist this week. He said they "missed" last week....not good.
Anyway, that's the update. Home health aids come from time to time, but we can't get a clear answer from either of them as to how often or what they actually do.
Nothing we can do about it, though, because Dave has no legal power, and they don't want our help.
