We had a short burst of energy on Saturday morning. Richard was up for a bit, ate breakfast, and back to bed. Then very quiet and slept most of the rest of the day.

Since then he has mostly slept. Awakens briefly. Stares ahead. At brief moments I know he knows we are near. Takes sips of fluid. Pain Medication is delivered when he shows signs of needing it. And mostly sleep. Our 'adopted' grandchildren visited last night and it was pretty hard on Piper and Willow, ages 12 and 10, as they haven't been around as much to see him grow steadily weaker. They said their good-byes and we shared a good, long cry. They plan another visit this week.
Now we go on with living....and watching! All prayers and thoughts have been appreciated. I am doing well. I am at peace! I am ready. (I think).
sending you love and peace . Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteThanks for the update, Paula. Glad you had that time with viewing the slides and the laughter. I know you're ready, but I know it still will be so hard when it is actually there. You have been an exemplary care giver and continue to be so. I hope at the end of it all you will have no regrets with anything you did because everything you did to care for him, I think you did it well, as tough as it has been.
