Trey, Conner and I just got home from Warner Robins for Dylan's b-day party at Eagle Springs pool. We went down Thursday and stopped by to visit Mimi and Papa on our way down. It was very, very difficult to understand Papa's speech, and he stared a lot and didn't seem as "with it" as he had been...I am really thinking he has had another stroke - maybe a "mini" one. He also really struggled more w/ eating his ice cream - it was pitiful - it breaks my heart (big breath so I don't cry). As we were leaving he started getting REALLY agitated w/ mom. So much so that I started telling the boys "get in the car". I do feel bad for her w/ he gets like that which I have a feeling is more and more. When he wasn't in the same room, Mimi told me he had gotten ugly w/ Chantal that morning and that if Chantal leaves, then she is leaving (not that I believe that). After that, on my drive to WR, I started thinking about the way he was in Hospice compared to now. I don't know what the "answer" is as far as nursing homes, MARTA, etc. Robin gave me some t-shirts for Papa and I will be taking them down to him this week. I can pick up the MARTA paperwork but the idea of getting him away from home does make me nervous.
