This and That – Update on Mom.

Mom was very anxious yesterday…again. The doctor finally ordered a sleeping aid, which calmed her. She slept all night and is still resting peacefully. After almost 48 hours of fitful sleep, I was thankful the Ambien took effect. I’m afraid her status is changing, though. I’ve been talking with the hospice nurse, a suggestion suggested by Mom’s doctor. I am not sure if Mom’s going to snap out of her reduced physical/mental status. Hospice -it’s a hard thing to contemplate, much less put into effect. Time will tell. I’ve given this to the Good Master…He knows best. I pray that He will call Mom Home before she slips further away. When I got to the hospital this morning, I whispered good morning, Mama…and her fading blues eyes sparkled, and she smiled at me. I think she knew who I was. Please pray for God’s will to be done.

Big hug.
