Ongoing Confusion

Talked to Mom a couple of times over the last three days. Each time she seems very confused. I called to ask her how she makes her beef stew, and she couldn't remember how to make stew (She used to rattle off those type of recipes from memory). Then I told her I am excited to show her some of the pictures I found of her and Dad, and she said, "yes, the weather is very nice here." I asked her if she was having trouble hearing me, and she said no, she understood me just fine. Today I asked if she knew where the cordless phone from Dad's room at Rosewood went, and she said, "Yes, Dad is doing really well. He should be out in a few days." I repeated my question about the phone, and she said she had to go. Both times she didn't appear to be avoiding my questions, she just didn't appear to be able to comprehend the question.

I talked to Dad today. He thinks he's getting out of Rosewood in 10 days or so. I told him they were looking at a long term admission to Rosewood because Mom appears to be getting confused a lot, and appears to be having trouble with maintaining his medication schedule. He said that Mom being confused was news to him, and that he'd never heard that before. I told him we'd discussed our concerns about Mom several times, and he wanted to know who I meant by "we". I told him he and I, he and Lisa, and the three of us with the social worker had all discussed it before, and he said he had no recollection of that.
