A Spark

Though fragile, I detected better short term memory today. Yesterday Mom had had a PEO meeting at her apartment's dining room, and I'd not reminded her of it until the afternoon, lest she ruminate over it and question me time and again. I reminded her yesterday before I left that at 7 pm, PEOs would descend on her. She was very unsure of things then. But today when I asked how the meeting had gone,  she remembered she'd had a meeting last night!  This is an improvement. She remembered they'd met in the far area of the dining room.  And she remembered I was painting the porch and we laughed over my stiff neck from painting the ceiling.

So...there is a spark that ignites now and then.  I've been giving Mom only caffeinated coffee when I fetch her afternoon cup, and who knows...maybe it's helping her "wake up" a bit. So good to see her eyes brighten as she recalls things.  So good to see that part of Mom still there.
