Rally time

After a great night's sleep and the Hospice nurse coming to give mom a shower and wash her hair she has felt better today.

She had a wonderful visit with Uncle George and some dear friends who stopped by as well as her "personal physician" (long time family friend).  But, the rally came when Sis made it here this afternoon.  She drank a little more water, ate a little bowl of mashed potatoes and is in pretty good spirits.   She is still quite weak and needs assistance when getting up but we have another "milestone" coming tonight when Doug, Carrie & Olivia arrive.  Then, tomorrow her grandson Griff (Sis' son) comes in and Alison (Sis' daughter) arrives on Saturday.  Sunday Mike is flying in to round out the sibling parade :) and Jody + kids  (Mike's daughter) will be here Tuesday

We are still praying she can make it through all of these milestones before dad and her parents put their feet down and come to get her.  This is a hard time but a natural progression and she has had a wonderful life her 82 years.  It's been so sweet talking to many of her friends as well as family and hearing the great stories each have shared with us about mom.

Please share a comment with us - we read all of them to her.  Or, send me a text that I can read to her.
