Pendulum swing

Mom seems to be back. Of course this is relative, it means she is eating her puréed meals. Deborah and I no longer have to placed them in a blender….. all of this by just taking her off of Gabapentin? She had blood work done that revealed she was dehydrated and that her kidney function had drastically decreased. So Angela recommended I order Liquid IV from Amazon. I did and Momma likes it and now she is peeing all the time. She is now alert, alert enough to say no to me giving her a spoon full of mash potatoes! We’ll see how long this stage lasts, until we swing back in the opposition direction.
