INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

Sorry to the family of Susan.  She was an amazing person. She held on for years. Her family may or may have not know how many years. She endured chemo for years beyond the normal. Her MO as she would describe always had something in his trick bag. Her several things she wanted to--------see-------her daughters marriage-----------the birth of her grandchild------being involved with the grandchild...…... Which happened b/c they were in driving distance Then it all happened. 

Sorry Susan, Thank you for being in my life. "Know  that I Am"...………………….

Hi Pawprint , sorry to see you here b/c Susan is gone.  Glad to know you are here.

Hellloooooooooooooo, Phyliss got the flowers yesterday while Sandy was visiting. She wasn't able to talk later b/c they had just given her morphine meds. 

Talked with her a bit ago today. She's not able to talk, but can nod her head yes and no. She smiled at a couple of corny jokes. DS is visiting YAY

I had asked the other day for a minister to visit, they have been in. I asked for someone to sit with her, and they are 24/7

As an FYI, I technically had no right to ask for either, I'm not her surrogate Sandy is. BUT what the heck I asked. They did both. Technically, had no right to be asked to be put on the chart to be called, but they did. So, I guess in a same or similar circumstance....ask.... the least they can say is no.to any request.

Feeling much better about the situation. Her staff is very attentative and kind, watching closely as to when she needs meds. Plus, now she has someone at the bedside. That's important for those moments she wakes.. Just to see someone or maybe something as simple as water that she can't reach.

She and I never really talked religion much, but it bothered me that she may have not been baptized and what her wishes were if she wasn't.   I asked tonight, and she has been baptized. Took a great worry away. Some won't understand, others will.

Talked with Beatmom and thanked her for the flowers. We both are going to have a couple of corny jokes for her, when we call.
Corny joke from the other day still using it. "Your like dandruff, I can't get you out of my head"  2nd corny joke. What's the difference between God and doctors?...……..God doesn't like to play doctor.

Each call is finished with prayer.

Hugs

Okay , how did I come up with the idea of house cleaning. I tried to remember what was the worst about the first year. Then, I also gave the DS his baby book.  The book was created in the Polaroid time. I wrote things on each picture with the old time grease pencil. It was a red thing that you wrote with and unwrapped bas the as the pencil was used.

There is a picture of  me and Stephen at 4 weeks. I wrote "OMG 4 WEEKS"  I totally looked dead and dragged. DEar Greg said "Your aren't putting that in the book?"  I said "I sure am" Anyone who has gone through the first few weeks of life with a baby, will so understand this look". Of course , I was right. 

Phyliss has passed. Her family was at the bedside.
