Yesterday it looked like my grandmother was doing a lot better. On Sunday, although she kept looking at the people around her bed, she didn't react when you moistened her lips. Yesterday she not only licked her lips when moistened, but she also drank water, ate most of an ice cream, a bowl of apple sauce and some porridge. But around 5.30am the phone rang this morning and then you know the news isn't good.
During the night she took a turn for the worse and my father, and most likely my aunt, are with her now. Again, they don't expect her to be with us for much longer.
I'm only hoping for it to be quick. Two months ago she celebrated her 94th birthday and she's got very advanced dementia. She enjoyed the day, especially seeing her youngest great-granddaughter, but she would have forgotten about all of it as soon as everyone left.
With all that has happened in the past two and a half years I doubt there will be any calm heads. I just hope my uncle (who is my grandmother's curator) will allow us to be at her funeral and not ban my father and aunt from her deathbed.
