Thank you all so much for your response.
Wednesday night while I was at Moms she said that part of the reason she had slept so much that day was because she was so bored. So yesterday on my way down, I stopped and got a puzzle.
When I was young, my Mom we would set up a card table in the family room, mostly during the summer. My Mom, sister and I and all of our friends that came into our house would work on them and it was really fun. So yesterday, I got the card table out and all of us started to work on it. We were able to slide the table right up to her chair and prop her with pillows. There were 4 of us aroung the table, my sister, a neighbor, who is like a 2nd Mom to us, my Mom and me. We worked on it together for about an hour. It was so nice to be there together, remembering and talking about all of those summer days from long ago.
Later after everyone else had left I asked Mom if this afternoon went by faster than yesterday? With a big smile on her face she said "yes, thank you"
When I had spoke with the nurse the night before, she said that we should be giving Mom the morphine drops every 2 hours. It's kinda cute how when they tell Mom she should be doing something as far as the pain meds goes she doesn't do it.But after I tell her she needs to, she says ok and does it. When I got there yesterday I told her she didn't look like she was comfortable. She had just woke up and our caregiver, who is GREAT came over to give her the drops. Two hours later, she was given more drops. When I left to go home she did look comfortable, tired but comfortable.
Yesterday was a much better day and I thank God.
