Things had been status quo until this past Tuesday afternoon. I noticed the all too familiar starting to slouch as she sat on the couch. By evening, she was having another brain shut down episode.
Since then, we’ve been on daily nurse visits and she’s been confined to the bed. She’s had a bad cough that manifests itself enough that she hasn’t been able to get that deep, solid sleep that usually helps the brain reset.
She’s tried to stand, but can’t even sit on the bed for a few minutes without eventually needing to lay down.
Her vitals have been OK. She had a bit of gurgling in her lungs Wednesday that wasn’t evident yesterday (Thursday), which is good. She’s not gained control of her right side, specifically her right hand and right leg, which isn’t good.
Bethany is coming to visit today. Hospice nurse said she has a lot more "showed up too late" stories than "showed up too early". It will be great to see her, and great for her to see her Mama.
That’s the update for now. Thanks as always for those who have offered their help and their kind thoughts.
Life is all about "the stories".
This is ours from our RV somewhere in the U.S.
