Zoe's mom, Gerry, has Alzheimer's. She has been at Western State Hospital for the past year and a half. We last visited her a week ago. She was in a lot of pain and wouldn't eat the food we brought even when her pain meds kicked in. They have been having a harder and harder time getting her to eat. Today we found out that she has stopped eating and drinking completely and they have her on an IV. We will be going down to see her. Zoe is upset. With good reason.
