Good news and bad news

06 Apr 2016

The Good News first:

Amy's maintained her weight for about a week now.  

She's been laughing again.  She has rarely laughed and never cried over the last 2 months.  She still will say funny things (I mean on purpose, not the hallucinations, which are funny too).  She's been laughing frequently over the last day or two.  I think it's always nicer to be around people who laugh.

The Bad News:

She's having more difficulty swallowing and is getting hard to feed during meal times because she reaches for random things (including the food on Mia's plate) and drags her hands through her food.  She'll sometimes chew a mouthful 30 times.  Or 100.

She was verbally unresponsive for much of the last two days.  She couldn't come to supper last night or breakfast this morning because she was too 'out of it'.
