Please, Please Pray For My Sister
 

I haven't spoken much about her on this board but some of you know I have a sister (Susan) who has early onset Alzheimer's. She is only 57. She's been in a nursing facility the past four years and has rapidly progressed. My BIL called me this morning to let me know that they are transferring her to the hospice wing because she cannot swallow anymore and cannot take food or liquid. She does not want a feeding tube (living will request made years ago) or any other means of support. They have said 1 to 4 weeks is what we should expect. They had to remove fluid from her lungs last night. My sister in VA is out of town on business so I am waiting for her to call me back this morning.

Please pray for Susan - that she can have a peaceful passing. These last four years have been so hard for her and all of us. She went from being able to talk to us to being able to do nothing in 4 short years. She doesn't even make eye contact anymore.

I'm SO tired of losing those I love. I am trying to be strong for my BIL - he isn't ready to let her go. None of us are.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I love ya'll.
