Okay, not smoking, but Amy did drink a lot more liquids today and ate 2 bites of icecream. She had company today (two women came and sat and chatted with Sarah in Amy's room), which I think makes her happy. She seemed to smile at different things that they said. Last night I slept next to her. Her arm is so weak that I'm no longer at risk of getting hit by a wayward arm during the night. I slept pretty well until 3 or 4 am, but then her irregular breathing kept me awake. I think I'll go back to my mattress on the floor tonight. When we took her to the bathroom tonight (she can still go to the bathroom on the toilet if we carry her and sit her on it) she passed out and got so pale that we had to quickly take her back to lie down in bed to get the circulation back to her head. Both of the girls helped me. I hope they weren't too traumatized by it.
Drinking and Smoking!
