All in all, it was a good day. There were more peaceful moments than not, and I saw her smile more today than I have in the past week. Jess came over this afternoon, and Mom was snoozing on the couch; as soon as she heard Jess’ voice, she opened her eyes and looked for her. Loved seeing that.

Wouldn’t eat a thing, and wouldn’t drink much in the way of juice or tea, but she did have about 16 ounces of Ensure throughout the day. The girls said they tried to give her a bite of apple pie this morning; she promptly spit it out, then picked it up and threw it at them. That’s mama… as spunky as ever.
