Update on my mother

[Guest guest]

As of Thursday night, Mom was placed in the hands of Hospice on continual care.

She is on oxygen to ease her respiration. She stopped taking food and liquids

after lunch on Thursday. Because of her dramatic weight loss, she has an issue

with skin breakdown on her tailbone but it is being monitored closely. A very

small amount of morphine is given during dressing changes on that area to ease

any discomfort. She seems to be resting comfortably. We believe she still has

an awareness because she seems to be trying to speak when she hears us talking.

All of the hard decisions have been made.

I am so grateful for all who surround her now. She is loved, protected and

comforted.

Best wishes,
