Next Stop Heaven
Mom got really sick to her stomach this afternoon and ever since, her status has deteriorated.
We were able to get Dad, all the kids and spouses here and we've spent the past couple of hours singing and praying with Mom.
She is not responding to us right now. Her breathing is shallow, slower and she is dropping breaths.
It's looking like she's going home to Heaven very, very soon.

Rough Day in 542
Mom's day started out good, but quickly turned. She has been sick to her stomach several times and her breathing is rapid and shallow, so she is on oxygen.
Mom is very tired and has been a little confused at times. She is also more agitated right now than we've seen her before.
She wants to go home and we don't think she will make it back to her earthly home. We are confident, however, that she will be in her heavenly home very soon.
John 14:1-6
1: Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4: And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5: Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Monday Report
We praise God that Mom's had a couple of really good days. Her vitals are strong and her main problem continues to be nausea; however, she has been able to make it without the ng tube.
Though Mom is hanging in there, Dr. Bell still feels we are in the "days" category. We're going to explore some things today to see whether it is a viable option for Mom to go home. She really wants to go home one more time, even if her stay is a brief one.
We're not certain it will work out, but we are exploring the possibility to honor her wishes.
We'll let you know how the day goes.

Carol Teaney Day
The students from Grace Baptist Academy came to visit Mom last Friday. The kids sang, gave testimonies, brought cards and came by individually to say good-bye.Before they left, the principal proclaimed every February 1 Carol Teaney Day at the Academy. The students will be given the day off every year to honor Mom's memory. She taught in the school for 12 years prior to her health-induced retirement last May.
Mom feels deeply honored by this gesture.
When Life Hands You Lemons...
Drink lemonade.
Mom had so many visitors yesterday that her nurse had a cart of snacks and beverages sent up from the cafeteria. Mom noticed a pitcher of lemonade and said, "I want some."
She has had several cups of lemonade since and says, "It tastes so good!"
