The Hospice nurse came to the house today. She (Marsha) did an evaluation, and went over lots of things with Mom for a couple hours. She examined Dad, and then talked about what the nurses would do each time they arrive.
We have a short time left with him.
He is not always aware of his surroundings. In fact, at times I'm sure he's not aware I am there. Keith brought home some extra items from the hospital that should help us in caring for him. I think many times Mom must be spent...but she is still going strong. There are many sad times for us. And we are trying to make as many decisions now, while we can, rather than later.
Emily is on her way home from Texas...should arrive in the morning. I am staying at the house this evening, taking my turn at support & assistance as needed. I cooked a small supper for Mom and myself...meatless spaghetti and Italian blend veggies! And I've just come home quickly to shower & write this blog, then I'm on my way back (it's only a 4 block distance for those who don't know...this end of town seems to be the Wilson compound! Keith is just a block from me, and 4 from the folks!)
Pray for an easy night for Dad, Mom and myself. The least amount of anxiety, the better!
Pray for strength!
Love to everyone...
