Make new friends, but keep the old...

I am happy to report that we've had a couple of quiet days. We have been giving mom .5mg of Lorazepam about every 2 hours (if she's awake to take it) and that seems to help her rest. If she goes more than 3 hours without a dose, she awakens really agitated & tries to get out of bed. She's too weak to accomplish that, but she doesn't know it!

Leta, a dear friend of moms from years past, is here sitting with her tonight. Mom doesn't necessarily know who she is, but thanks all of us for sitting with her (during her rare semi-lucid moments). This gives my Aunt Janette a MUCH needed break. She and my Aunt Bev have been SUCH a tremendous help with mom. God truly blessed us with an amazing family!

A dear NEW friend of mine, Stephanie, came & gave my Aunt Janette & I massages tonight. Ain't nothing that soothes tired muscles and worn out emotions like a massage! (she is VERY good & VERY reasonable - contact me if you'd like her information!)

well, kids... I'm off to bed. That massage has me ready to drift off to sleep! Just had to take a minute to say THANK YOU to my family & friends that are all working so hard to make this incredibly difficult time much easier - you are all appreciated!
