Changing meds

Okay... another update, a little less worn this time . Thank you all for your grace in my frantic post the other day. Things have definitely calmed since my post on Thursday. On Friday the hospice nurse came and we decided to change some meds around. Decreasing one and upping doses of another to keep her comfortable as the process continues. She continues to be fairly pain free, atleast when we're not moving her around and changing the bed, etc. That is very exhausting for her these days, when she is not sleeping. The pain she does have is emotional, she just wants to go home to Jesus and doesn't know why she's still here. There is a sense of peacefulness, yet a very strong desire to "get this show on the road."
If you have still have a desire to come and see her or say your last "goodbyes".. you are still welcome, just give the home phone a call before you come. Just know that she may not be as aware or communicative, and we still run it past her if she wants visitors so we'll let you know if it's not a "good" day.
Last night I was reading her "Christmas/Happy New Year(as it was last year)" letter. I will end this update with her words that closed her letter, as they were very poignant. (you might want to grab a tissue)
"I'm not sure what 2013 will bring, but one thing we do know, the God who knows us better than we know ourselves, keeps His promises. He is faithful...He is worthy of our trust and adoration. ...even in the darkest of times. He will meet you where ever you are in the journey.. "
