Oct. 6, 2011

Grandma has powder on her neck in this picture.  She has started drooling which is making her neck raw.  She is healing from the MRSA (staph infection) and doing much better.  However, over this last week she has stopped talking.  She will occasionally make a sound that sounds like "yum", but not sure what she is trying to say.  She holds and rubs her head much of the time now too.

She has lost weight and was down to 67 pounds but is up to 71 pounds right now.  Her food is pureed now and thickening is put in her drinks, she seems to be doing better with eating now.  Previously she was rolling her food around and not swallowing. 

She never complains when the wound nurse cleans her leg and changes the bandage.  She still crosses her legs, it's so cute.
