Monday,

The Hospice Nurse came by today and checked Mom out. She is hanging in there and she was able to suggest additional medications to help keep Mom in comfort.

Dean's facilitator, John, came by today with the other guys to talk to Dean. They had a nice long walk and Dean came back a new person. Even this morning, Dean was having angry fits, but even after 6 hours, he is calm....John, you work miracles!!! My other brother Dave wants to know if you will move in...

The rest of us are coping, Dave is cooking, Gary is cleaning and I made some cookies. Even Grandma took a walk on the farm (she "gave into me" and took her wheeled walker, not her cane. But, Auntie Irene still "tailed" her since she insisted that she wanted to be alone. At 94, she can do whatever she wants...as long as we can watch her....)

Dad is being strong. He has started to make some decisions, and I am just letting him dictate, what/when we talk...so, things are going okay.

Dave said tell everyone we love the support....I told him I write that every time....but, thank you for the food, hugs, messages, email, cards (I read Mom her cards), calls etc...we are all truly blessed.
