This is for David who asked me last night to keep him constantly informed since he's at college. Hi Hon.
Grandma had a quiet night. Her breathing is shallow now, and still steady, but seems to be a bit more of a struggle. I'm sure she's pain free. I give her the meds through her PIC line every four hours. We just put a tissue in each of her hands and she folded her fingers around them. You know that always seemed to calm her to hold a tissue.
We've told her over and over again, probably to the point where she wishes we would be quiet =), what a wonderful mom and grandma she's been and how much we all love her.
I'll keep writing the minute anything changes. Go about your day knowing she loves you and will soon be at peace with God. I love you!
Grandma's breathing changed about 8:00 this morning. It was lighter and less stressful. At 8:15 Grandma started her new life with Grandpa. She was very, very peaceful. We are all finding such happiness in the fact that she isn't uncomfortable anymore.
Our journey has ended. Grandma's is just beginning.

David is not the only one who wants to be constantly informed, so thank you David for requesting this! I want to check all the time to see how things are but I don't want to text at a bad time even though I know that those texts are a nice distraction. Hang in there all of you, soon she will be meeting Walt at the pearly gates and she will be at peace, healthy and happy and what a great time that will be for her. We will be the ones who are suffering then, but just think of how great it will be when we are all united with them, too! Love you all.
ReplyDeleteKaren and family,
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers and know that she knew just how much you loved her.

I am proud of all of you who took care of Aunt Marlyn and stayed by her side. It was a difficult decision. She was a wonderful person. I am sure she appreciated each and every one of you and what you did for her. I am sure she loved you all and knew how much you loved her too. Thanks for making her passing with such love and compassion. I am here if you need me. I love you all. Mary
