Sunday, August 10

Went to see Mimi and Papa today. Kathy was there when we got there. Papa has severely declined since last weekend. Mom said Chantal called today to check on him and in the past few months she has never done that on her weekends off. He has blood in his urine and he is in pain now when he has to pee (which is only appox a Tablespoon at a time). He is sleeping about 99% of the time and not eating (he had a biscuit for breakfast and some sips of water in the afternoon). He is having trouble "focusing" when you are talking to him. He has a rattle in his chest.

While out in the driveway on our way out, I asked Mimi what she is going to want to do. She said she is staying at the house at least for awhile. I reminded her how scared she was staying alone at night. She said if she goes anywhere it will be Mt Vernon Towers but she isn't leaving the house any time soon. She told us how Ms. Roose and Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are at Mt Vernon Towers, and how they should have bought when it was only $15K a unit and it is now $150K a unit. My plan is to go down to Mt Vernon Towers on Friday and see what the wait-list is like and if a deposit is required to get on the wait-list.

We just hung up the phone w/ Mimi. Papa has not eaten since the biscuit this morning. He has woken up only briefly to take a few sips of water.
