Family
My sister came to visit. For a caregiver this is a vacation. No cooking and adult conversation. I'm so grateful for my family. They always seem to show up when I need a break. Mom still eats about 4-6 ounces of food daily with 5-8 ounces of water. My mom has started biting her forearms. I do not understand why. But, being afraid of her breaking the skin. I cut the toes out of her socks and slid them over her forearms. Now she bites the material. Seems to work for now.
