she's doing great

we have to wake her
up
to feed her the woman
on
the phone says in broken
English.
she sleeps all day,
never gets up.
we change her, bathe
her where she
lies. we put her pills
in her food,
moving her mouth up and down
as best we can.
sometimes, on rare
occasions,
she may open her eyes
and try
to say something,
but we don't understand.
we love her, and want
her stay here
with us
as long as she can.
her room is clean,
her bill paid, although
next month,
due to increases in
expenses it will be
raised.
