Thursday, November 20, 2008

I'm posting this from Mom's hospital room tonight. She is resting quietly at the present. She has had a lot of visitors today. Three of her close friends, Stacey, Cyndy and Dea; two of her grandchildren; and one great-grandchild stopped by. She enjoyed seeing Rich and Cyndy's pictures from their recent trip to Italy. It brought back of lot of good memories of her travels around the world. Her sister and brother-in-law, Margie and David, and Dodo and I have been here most of the day.

She was fairly alert earlier in the day, but not as much so this evening. Her pain doesn't seem to be as bad today, but they have also increased the strength of her pain medicine.

Dodo, Stacey and I met with her oncologist late this afternoon. The news was not what we had hoped for. We would ask that you continue to pray for Mom. I received a prayer from Carol T. "Please, Lord. Don't allow her to suffer. Please take away her pain as You wrap Your arms around her and take her to a better place. That is my prayer for your mother as well."

We truly appreciate the caring comments you leave for us and the kind emails I have received over the past few weeks. They have made this blog so much more meaningful.
