Hey all-
Just wanted to let the fam know that AJ has moved out of her apartment and into a nursing home--Saint Martha's Manor in Downingtown,PA. She's had many a fall, and has lost so much weight that her Doctor has diagnosed her with "Failure to Thrive"--a common diagnosis for elderly people that don't eat much. I spoke to her yesterday, and she was SOOO confused---she didn't know it was me on the phone for a good couple of minutes, and that's really not like her at all....but as confused as she is, she still managed to send me a beautiful bouquet of flowers for my birthday----gotta love AJ, yeah? Just want to ask that we all make an effort to make sure we go and see her at this joint when everyone's home--we can take her out for like lunch and stuff---also, really need to help Aunt Maura as much as we can--she got this whole thing done without any help from anyone---mighty impressive--I'm gonna try to help her clean out AJ's apt., but if anyone talks to AJ on the phone--remember, she is a wee bit confused, and she really thinks that she can leave the nursing home and go back to her apartment...just need to remind her that it is not safe for her to be on her own like that anymore, and that St Martha's has mass twice a day--she really liked that idea! Anyway, thanks all--just wanted to let everyone know what's going on!

thanks for the update, sis. wish I could be there to help out. let me know if there's anything I can do from out here.
I'll definitely be home for xmas, so let's definitely plan a day when we can all go visit her and take her out to lunch.
it's so sad that her health is deteriorating so quickly.
do you have the phone number to her room in the nursing home?
