Thursday

Dad's cold sounds really bad and he's going to the doctor tomorrow. Mother's cold doesn't sound too bad, but she's not eating much. She's getting her calories from the meal replacement shakes, fortified ice cream and juices. 

When I got there this evening Mother had finished eating. She was glad to see me, but she told me that she was in a hurry. I asked her if she had a cold and she said yes and I asked her if she felt bad and she said yes, but when I asked her if her throat hurt she said not really. I took her to her room and cleaned her face and hands and then helped her into bed. She fell asleep quickly and she was asleep when I left.
