Sunday was an interesting day. That morning Mom was running a fever so we called in the Hospice nurse, Lida. Mom was unable to eat any food nor take any medications and she was running a high fever. Lida was able to get a prescription of Morphine for Mom to help her feel comfortable and to rest. Lida said that in her opinion Mom may pass within 48 hours. Kim, Rita, and I have been spending all the time we can with Mom. Lenore came over in the evening and talked with Mom and tried to comfort her with cool cloths on her face.
It seems as if Mom has wrestled with the spirits and continues to hold on to life. Many have called and Mom has told them that she loves them. Mom will have an episode of mental anguish and then she would start praying. We would all stay close to her and pray with her. At one point she said that she saw Our Lord and we told her it was okay to go with him.
We spent the night with Mom, praying and trying to keep her comfortable. We know that the time is short. It is really hard on all of us seeing Mom suffering like she is and we hope and pray that she'll make her final journey soon.
