Kelly, I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this. You, your sister and your family will be in my prayers.

I went and visited with Susan today and her hospice nurse was there. I talked with her for a long time until my BIL got there. Susan was not in as bad a shape as I had feared she would be in but it's still not a good situation. She aspirates anything she takes in by mouth and she will definitely get pneumonia if she does that. She wants no "heroic measures" taken (in her living will made up probably 15 years ago) and Mark (my BIL) made it clear today that they are to give her no more meds. It was not a pleasant visit by any means and I just hate to see her suffering with no hope of getting better even with medication. I will probably go back tomorrow for a while. Just wanted to give an update - everyone has been so kind to pray for her.

Oh, Kelly, I am so sorry about this. I hope Susan is not suffering. I hope they are, at last, giving her Morphine, to help make her passing a little easier on her and You and Family.

I just said goodbye to my 70 yr old Brother a couple of months ago. It's sooooo hard. Please know that Susan and you are in my prayers.

Hi Kelly, They aren't even giving her any pain meds? I guess she might want to be as aware as she can be in this situation. My prayers are with you and yours, as always.
