Lawrence, Reba's 84-year-old dependent grandfather, lived with Reba until this year, when he moved to Lakeside Nursing Home because he needs medical and nursing care.

Meals for Lawrence at Lakeside ........................................ 2,200
Doctor and nurse fees at Lakeside ..................................... 1,700
Cable TV service for Lawrence's room at Lakeside ................. 380
Total ........................................................................ $15,280
Lakeside has medical staff in residence. Disregarding the 10%-of-AGI floor, how much, if any, of these expenses qualifies for a medical expense deduction by Reba?
