Trip to Allentown

Saw Dad for about 15 minutes. He was in bed. Very out of touch. A slight nod once and a lifted hand with I told him I was going. First time I cried in front of him.

Saw Mom at LVH. She was sitting up but in her open hospital gown. Her hair was brushed. Had a bit of cake for dessert. Her main lunch was a liquid similar to Ensure. She was glad to see me and had some interesting comments: "What did you do for Thanksgiving?" and "Nobody wants old people." She asked for Lin, Sara and Dad. Asked how Vicki was doing with the Buick. She expressed concern again about what we received in place of the car. Stayed for about 45 minutes.
