Today Hospice came and brought my mom a hospital bed as it is becoming more difficult for the caregivers to lift her. She has been very nauseaus after meals despite enjoying how the food tastes as it goes down. Unfortunately the other direction is not as pleasant. Her shingles don't seem to bother her terribley, although there are several open sores that look very painful to me. As different functions shut down, more invasive things are being done to help her and it upsets me to watch what is happening to her.
She had three different sets of visitors today, and enjoyed the company and listening to the conversations. She closes her eyes while we all visit, but just when I think she has fallen asleep she will interject a comment at the perfect moment!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we have much to be thankful for...I have much more to share, but Tom and I are sitting in Starbucks so that I could post an entry. They are getting ready to close down so I will write again soon with more details from the trip. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving day...savor the day and live fully!
