Mom seems much more with it lately with regard to personal care. That's a good thing for me. She has been listening to music on her iPod, I gave her my old one. I put it on shuffle by song and showed her how to use the sounddock remote and she will turn it on and listen all day. She just suggested listening to music! I'm glad, because listening to music is something she has always enjoyed and it seems to have perked up her spirits.
