Doydie I will be praying for you, mom and the family.

Dearest Doydie,

You and your family have all come together at this very important time in your Mom's life and provided excellent support. You are an inspiration to us all especially if we have families not in concert when it comes to our elderly parents.

You and your family are in my prayers and I'll be sending positive thoughts your way. Keep us informed, please.

Peace be with you all.

Sending prayers and extra hugs for you, Doydie.

Mom had a rough night. Maybe it was because I wasn't there when they turned her and gave her the last medicine!. My brothers stayed, then my sister was afraid to leave. i called my brother for an update and the picture he gave me I decided to also go in. But my nice recliner was taken, the lousy chair bed was taken, the two chairs put together in the kids playroom with an ottoman in between was taken so I took the floor in the family room. After that I tried taking two chairs and facing them and seing how much of a pretzel I could loook like. Then I tried the recliner that really isn't a recliner. You can put your feet up but it doesn't back. I know I got some sleep so at 6 I gave up and got a candy bar and hot chocolate. After all it's Hospice. you can have anything you want at anytime. at least that's what they tell my Mom when she ask for a diet coke. A family whose loved one died 2 years ago always brings in donuts and cereal and milk every Sunday helped with the rest of my breakfast.

Her color is worse, temp is up, she has blisters on her back that would be in the same place as shingles but she is getting blisters everywhere for all the fluid that her body is holding since her kidneys are almost nonfunctional

Doydie,

God bless you as you go through this with your mom. This is so difficult for you, and yet so important for both of you. I'm so glad you're able to be by her side. This is so stressful and will be a test for your own health. I'll keep you all in my prayers. I went through a similar situation with my mom over five years ago. Please remember to take care of yourself.

Prayers for all of you, dear...your mother will surely be at peace soon. She is blessed to have you there.

I pray for your mother to be at peace and for you to find peace in the process as well. I know all too well how hard this is.

Mom gets weaker everyday but the pain increases. They are going to insert a sub-q button. I have no idea what it is but the nurse says it only takes her a second to do it. It is hard for her to swallow the liquid pain med now. She hasn't spoken or recognized anyone in two days/
