This is a page dedicated to updating friends and family on Patti's journey through the last days of brain cancer. (sorry this wasn't made on a blog sooner!!) If you want the full story I started my own blog that recounts the beginning until September, http://strugglingintheinbetween.blogspot.com/. There are definite gaps and a lot of my journey through it as well, but at least it's something.

In the last couple days since I posted, there have been minor changes that indicate the time is drawing near. Her knees, bottoms of feet and elbows are purple and skin is getting mottled. Her temperature has fluctuated and at times is feverish and she has apnea that lasts from 6 up to 12 seconds (no breathing in those times). From time to time she will let out some moans/sounds and open her eyes a bit. All day my sister, me, and dad (and a few visitors for a short bit) have been here, sitting, sleeping, eating, talking, waiting. The three of us just all want to be here when she breaths her last breath, it's so hard to know. There is no play book for this, no way to know... our human minds can't understand. I was just encouraged by a friend's blog and the story of her recent baby's birth. There were multiple things that God had his hand on so specifically, he knows and we don't always in the present moments.
