Oh my God. Mom is so, so gone.
Why is it taking us so long to realize this simple fact. I think we finally got it. I don't know. This is so difficult as we just want what is best for her.
We want her to be comfortable and happy. Sadly, we don't know how to make that happen.

Mom called me today and left a message that she needed me to bring her beer tomorrow. I knew that Mike had visited her yesterday and had taken her the things she needed including beer, so I called Teresa to get confirmation. She told me that Mike had bought a case of beer for her and told her that she needs to make it last at least a week. Apparently, she has drunk A CASE of beer in two days. She drank a case of beer in two days? I told Teresa that there was no way. She would not be able to do that. Teresa said that in a recent visit, Mom drank 5.5 beers in a 2 hour visit.

I will not get her anymore beer.

I am so close to not even visiting as it's expensive and she doesn't even know that I was there.
But, I can't leave Teresa holding the bag. And I won't. I will continue to visit Mom as difficult as it is.

Teresa, I appreciate you more than you know.

And I still can't believe you are being so good to Mom.
