Mommy

Tanner, You guys have nothing to be ashamed of. Not many get to go that far. I'm just so glad you didn't get crushed by (350 lb. Crusher).
The Hospice Nurse came yesterday and listened to Mommy's lungs and said that she has aspirated some fluids in the last few days. As you probably know, this causes Pneumonia. She has only had ice chips. She said that it is up to us, and we can still give her ice, but we have to make sure she is sitting straight up. I tried to give her some yesterday and she gagged. They told her to just keep her mouth moist with Lemon/Glycerin swabs. This morning she wasn't interested in it. We got her up yesterday and as we were doin' her exercises and when we raised her hands up, we asked her to Praise the Lord and she said it "crystal clear" and she did the same today. Yesterday, we showed her the pic of her and Daddy when they were young and asked her who it was, and she said, "That's me and my man". We laughed....never having heard her refer to Daddy as "her man". We showed her recent pics of them and she seemed not to recognize herself or Daddy in them.
Mommy is taking no food or drink and hasn't since about Tues. We have offered it but she spits it out or holds her mouth shut, so we have stopped after attempting it all last week. That is what Hospice reccomends. They've been here 4 times this week and will come anytime I call with a concern. Bobbie and her family are coming up today and we are going to sing some for Mommy...You are all welcome to come and join in this afternoon if you want.
Mommy seems to be comfortable and in no pain.
