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.. "
