Andrews missing box
by M Hayes 22 Feb '20

Andrew made for Dad, a wooden box that has a marble inside. It's a little puzzle. It's square & about 3". If any of y'all come across it, will you please set it aside for him? He would really really like it back. He said it was here when Dad passed away but Mom wanted to keep it till she passed. Thanks, Mar

Dividing mom and dads things
by Barb Gmail 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

I’ve been thinking on this, i hope I say this right because my brain is a little scattered right now. I would like to see the diving of our parents things be a little more with a conversation. I don’t want to say this wrong, but even more so I don’t want hurt feelings. I know there was a list made for larger items, and while I’m good with requests, I think it should be to Blaine and Carolyns children and then as they want for their kids it goes through the parent. For instance if I chose the chop saw as something I really want then Its up to me if I want to give my choice to briton. And if I knew Blaine really wanted the chop saw, I’d let him chose it over me for briton. (And no, briton does not want a chop saw.😂) I know there is a lot of stuff and many opportunities to find what will bring a memory or connection with grandparents. I’d be happy to send out this list and be that connection, but ideally would be to gather and talk. Barb

Mom update
by M Hayes 19 Feb '20

19 Feb '20

The hospice Dr was just here. Mom is near to passing. This is hard to ask & I know even harder to do. Please pray for Mom to be released from this life. She's suffering. She's ready. If we could keep her here, as heathy mom, we'd keep her forever. Last night I told her "Dad's coming for you." She replied very sadly, "Eventually".

Mom update
by M Hayes 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Just wanted to give an update on Mom. The hospice nurse came today. Side wants us giving mom morphine (predosed & filed syringes) every 2 hours around the clock. This is help with the pain she's begun having as well as help her relax. Last night was horrible. She was pounding on her stomach & couldn't be stopped. She was in much pain. She wasn't herself (up until then she has been). After morphine, she calmed & was able to sleep. The nurse said if we keep her dose steady on the morphine, we won't be trying to play catch up. Please pray for her to new able to pass. It's very much what she wants. Love, Mary
