Update

Mom is actively dying. We got the call yesterday. Debbie and I both arrived yesterday and spent the night with her in her room. Emily and Tillie came up too, but went home with Reg a bit later.

There is so much de ja vue here with my Dad's death..Emily and Tillie are up for a week..David is unable to visit so far because of work..I have prescriptions that need picking up..

Mom is receiving morphine every hour now and they reposition her every 2-3 hours. She was moved to a private room yesterday that has both a hide a bed and an extra bed..That's where we slept.

Mom was aware when I arrived. I told her I loved her and she tried to respond. When Debbie got there she'd had more morphine, so there wasn't much response. Our wonderful CNA, Tami, seems to get the best responses from her.

We'll keep this updated as best we can. Thanks for all your prayers. They are very much appreciated.
