Thank you

Having a stranger come into the house is not a good idea, she gets horribly stressed out & just wants them to go away. The ONLY people she likes coming to visit is my sister & I. Once her daughter (dad's sister) is over she's happy, but she doesn't want her coming over & gets upset when she learns of it. Poor Grandma thinks shes a bother to everyone. Shes not, everyone loves her dearly & thats why shes not in a Nursing Home while still sane... well mostly sane I suppose.

Shes not on medications, just vitamins as she doesn't eat much of anything but pudding, tea, & milkshakes. Ok, its not a "milkshake" but she doesn't know that. Its one of those protein drinks. Dad saw some Protein Pudding snacks, so he's been trying to get his hands on those too (no luck yet). She also sleeps most of the day.. she sleeps all night, all morning, & starts waking up around dinner time. Shes had several tests & nothing is showing up to why shes sleeping that much & not eating. The Dr. is glad he's been able to trick her into drinking the Protein Drinks, but obviously she needs more, but she refuses.. Not much can be done at this point sadly
