    Wanted to let the members here know that both Mary's and Briegull's husbands are doing significantly worse and they both could use our thoughts and prayers at this time.

    Briegull's husband passed away at 7 a.m. this morning. She will write later. I started a discussion for her.


    My husband is close. Yesterday morning his breathing was labored and he had that "rattle" in his throat. He was running a fever and non-responsive. The Hospice nurse and CNA came and he was given atropine for the rattle, morphine to ease his breathing, and a suppository of Tylenol for his fever. The Hospice nurse said he will probably pass in 5 - 10 days. Watching him in the bed, sleeping all the time, is so hard.

    Debbie will soon come from London - I've notified the Red Cross. She can't leave without their okay. She should be here Sunday. My sons and their families are on their way.

    I am so fortunate to have two friends (who are Alzheimer's widows from here at Joan's) with me for a visit! I am filled with the love and friendship of Lois and Fran! God decided to take my husband while he gave me close friends to be here with me.

    I will update you as events happen...

    I feel the love of this group!

    Mary (Red)

    Mary, I'm so glad that your family is on the way and that Lois and Fran are there. I hope Dave's passing is as peaceful as Lincoln's was.
