Catching up...

Since my last post, there have been several changes:

- I saw the surgeon & he dismissed me from his care. Said whatever that is going on in my throat is not surgical. I'm happy to report I haven't felt the pressure in my throat for days!

- last Sat. night, mom fell & was too weak to get up. At that point, I told her she no longer had a choice & the next day, we moved her into my house. Hospice brought some pain meds & I have stopped giving her some of her pills because its so hard for her to swallow them without choking.

she's had a couple of really good days, but this morning woke up very disoriented and refused to eat because everything tasted funny. She kept muttering "this bed is so crooked."

I have called Hospice & asked them to send someone to help me get her cleaned up a bit because she's too weak to sit up, none-the-less walk to the bathroom.

please keep us in your prayers as I feel today is going to be a long day...
