Update on Mom

Below is the text of a Facebook post from this morning regarding the state of my mom's health.

Evie and I are touched by the concern expressed by so many.

Incidentally, when the home consulted with Hospice earlier in the week, Hospice didn't take mom under their care, to the home's disappointment. The home has been hit hard by the Coronavirus, including several members of staff. Their capabilities are being stretched. 

We understand that Hospice was waiting until mom is bedridden. If that's the case, Hospice should be on board soon.

Thanks to all of you who are asking for an update on mom.

Mom seems to be slowly declining. 

Thursday was a very bad day for her. Since then, she's become weaker and less restless. Now she's, essentially, bedridden because she's too weak to get out of bed. She drinks a lot but eats very little. 

She's being given morphine to aid in her discomfort in breathing. She sleeps a lot, but does wake up from time to time. From what we can tell, she's not in pain.

It's heartbreaking for us not to be able to see her.

Please remember her in your prayers.
