Well, today (August 3) we got to test the medicine out for my MIL. You have to ground this pill up into a powder and then add it to a dessert or apple sauce. It is supposed to relax them. I just couldn't imagine myself doing this. You only hear about this in fairy tales or horror movies! Both my inlaws had just gotten up, and DH texted me: "Spike her coffee." Oh my gosh! How could I do that? I soon figured out a way. She had made both their coffee and went into her room. Okay, I thought; it's now or never. So I distracted my FIL and quickly slipped the powder into her coffee. She decided she wanted toast for breakfast and dunk it in her coffee. Perfect, I thought. So, I went back to work on my computer, but listened intently to their conversation.
Within 15 minutes, I could hear her giggling. Oh my gosh, it's working, I thought! Normally, when my FIL asks her to join him on the deck, she refuses. For some reason she doesn't like to sit in the sun. But this time, she said, "OK! I'll get my crochet stuff." Soon they were chattering and laughing and carrying on a normal conversation. Wow! I thought. It's working!
The rest of the day went smoothly. I got to work out, do some errands, had lunch with DH. And when I came home, she was sleeping like a baby. In fact, they both ended up sleeping the afternoon. So far, so good.
Tonight we played cards and we all had a lot of fun. So, it looks like there's a light at the end of this tunnel. Thank you, Jesus!
