I saw this on Pinterest today (thanks Germaine). This pretty much sums up the last few months for me and my blog. It has been cathartic. I won’t write much in the next week because I plan to limit the bleeding as much as humanly possible during the celebration of Jenna’s wedding and the days leading up to it.

Mary came to visit mom this morning and reported that she ate and was quite communicative. Helga came a little later and could not wake her. When we came she was awake again and very sweet. It truly is a crapshoot timing wise. Here is my prediction-I think mom will continue like this for a time, with the wakeful times steadily decreasing in length until she slips in to a coma. It may be another few weeks…..

I want to thank you in advance for keeping my mom company in our absence. I hope with every ounce of my being that she is still in room 124B in the Bregman neighborhood when we return next Sunday night.
