It feels so crazy to be November already. It's now been about a year since MaeLynn was told she had 6 months to live.
She had a fun weekend/Halloween, and had a few good days before that. Unfortunately, yesterday and today she has declined quite a bit. Andy said she slept pretty much all day yesterday, and that when she was awake, she didn't make much sense. Today she slept a little less, but didn't make any sense when she was awake.
He found MaeLynn in the kitchen clutching some junk mail and telling Andy to, "Get Out!! I've never told you this, but I'm really a secret agent! They've found me, and now there's a bomb in the house...so GET OUT!" Andy told her that he could disable the bomb if she'd just hand him the envelope. So she did. Then he helped her get back in bed.
The hospice nurse is upping MaeLynn's medication for delirium, but as we've said before, the effects of the medicine will only be able to overpower the effects of the toxins building up in MaeLynn's body for so long...so there are no guarantees.
She's been drinking the usual amount of fluids, but hasn't had much of an appetite. She tells Andy that everything tastes salty. Even some of her Halloween chocolate! Now you know something isn't right if Mae won't eat chocolate!! (Loss of taste and eventually sight can be signs of liver failure.)
Keep praying.

Wow, glad Andy took care of the "bomb." Poor MaeLynn, hopefully the drug increase will help her be herself.
