This morning when I finished my post I wondered if the day would continue to be a good one. I am happy to report that it has. Kate has been in a good mood all day right up to and including a moment ago. That is when she called out to me asking where I was. I am in the family room listening to music, checking email, and reading Memory People posts on Facebook. I quickly went to the bedroom to check on her. I told her where I was and that I would be joining her shortly. She said, “That’s all right. I just wondered where you were. I was feeling a little lonely. I’m all right now.” All day she has been just that agreeable. It has been wonderful.
I also think I may have discovered the source of her problem over the past several days. I discovered one open yogurt container that was partially eaten with a label showing it was out of date, Today is October 10. It had a sell by date of September 29. I noticed that there was another unopened container with the same date. I threw both of the out. I am surprised that this would be the problem. On the other hand, her upset stomach was minimal. She never threw up. She only had one episode of actually spitting up. Her primary issue was an unsettled stomach. The only thing I could observe was her telling me that she was tired and that she seemed weak and uncomfortable. Since her vitals were all right yesterday, and she came out of it quickly, I suspect it was the yogurt. She may have eaten some of it two days in a row. I can’t be sure as I only found one open container
I feel bad about this as it is my responsibility to take care of the yogurt. I always buy yogurt with the date that gives me the longest time period in which she can eat it. What happened this time was that she went a week without eating as much yogurt as she normally does. I’m just glad that she is all right and that we have had a very good day.
