Tues 10 Dec

Grandma is not doing well at all. Hospice called last night to say she is extremely weak and couldn't really manage to take any food or liquids yesterday. They have noticed a significant downhill trend this past week. We stopped in Sunday evening and this is consistent with what we saw, but at the time, I wasn't sure it was because she had been sound asleep when we arrived (at 5:45 pm). Hospice said the staff had asked permission not to get her out of bed at all at this point because sitting up is too tiring for her. At least she doesn't seem to be in any real pain or discomfort. I'm going out again at lunch today. If she isn't able to take food or drink any more, the end will likely come soon. Food: 6:45 am Almond puff pastry, 1/2 grapefruit, 99 g blackberries, coffee Exercise: 4:45-5:45 am DWTS DVD
