For those of you who read my other posts on my Grandma, I saw her over Christmas at my Uncle's house. About a month ago the people in assisted living had to switch her to all pureed foods because she can't handle solids anymore. And she can't feed herself either. My uncle had to feed her the whole time. My aunt said that after they switched her diet she lost about 40 lbs right away and only weighs like 100 lbs now. She still didn't recognize me but she did talk a little more. It makes me really sad because I went to give her a hug and she kissed me and looked like she was about to cry because she knows that she SHOULD know whats going on, where she is and who everyone is but she is so lost.
It really hurts seeing her like that. I lived next door to her and my grandpa over half my life and she had always been this vibrant woman who loved going on walks with her grandkids and taking us to the park and going out to eat. Now she can't even feed herself. She thinks my grandpa just died a few months ago and he died 8 years ago. I think once he died is when her mind started going and all she says now is that she wishes God would just take her now and she doesn't understand why He keeps her around.
Thanks to everyone on here for supporting me through this. I really appreciate all the kind thoughts and words.
