Mom's health continues to decline, so today, rather than getting the g tube, she became a hospice patient. She is still in the same room at St. Luke's, but they removed her IV and discontinued her medications. The focus is now 100% on keeping her comfortable.
In addition to the changes in her breathing, her body has begun to have involuntary muscle tics. Dr. Bell said she likely has just 2-3 days left here with us.
Mom has put up a courageous fight and she is worn out. It's easy for us to see that she will be better off in Heaven than here. Still, we're not anxious for her to leave.
Please pray with us that Stephen and Mom's sisters are able to make it here before she goes home to be with Jesus.

We love y'all. You are all precious godly folks. While we are relieved that your mom will finally experience comfort and peace, we realize that those things will be more hard to come by for you all in the near future. We are praying for your strength and comfort.
ReplyDeleteWe continue to pray for you. Our church is praying also. We love you folks and have always considered you family. I wish we were able to physically be there with you at this time. We are with you in spirit. May God's love and grace be your portion. Isaiah 43:2
