The Docs are still tweaking Mom's pain meds (fentanol patch and some type of oxy drug for breakthrough pain). This is the 3rd day she has not opened her eyes. I tried very hard today to talk her into opening them to look at a photo and to just let us see those beautiful turquoise pools of her eyes to no avail. She ate a little this morning and evening and still is drinking, but very small amounts of food. She does love her raspberry sherbert and oatmeal.

Mom still understands and responds sometimes to things. She can indicate yes or no sometimes verbally, sometimes shaking her head.

She was peaceful when she had her last visitors late this evening. All we can hope for is that she will continue to be peaceful and comfortable.

I went to visit Jim at home this evening. It was the first time I had been in the house since Mom was taken to Hospice. I knew it would be hard... and it was. It is so empty. The cats really miss her and having more people around and just flock to Jim constantly wanting love and attention. Jim has always been so loving and attentive to them but they know that part of their family is no longer there.

I'll end with a quote my Mom has posted at home that says, "Be the cause of wonderful things."
