Hello everyone.. From Julie
Sorry it has been such a while since my last update.....things have been very hectic around here. We are very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!! These past several days we have had Arlene and Lorin, Pat and Grant, Darin, and my good friend Michelle, up here helping with cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my two girls. Matt is also here with two of his kids Hunter and Britney, and his girlfriend Hollie . Brit drove straight through from Wyoming by herself to be with her Grammy. We had sad news from both her Doctor and Hospice over the weekend saying we were down to the final hours/days. Those of you who know my Mom know she has the spirit of a warrior! She is still very lucid at times communicating with us and making us laugh.......other times she is completely unresponsive. I love watching her strength and spirit.....she is still trying to eat and drink water!! We continue to pray for a miracle but I fear we are enjoying our last precious moments with my Mom. I can not tell you how grateful I am for all your cards and prayers. We read her the cards every day.......Thank-You :) I am also very blessed to have made such wonderful friends up here in Lake Wildwood. They have been there for me and my parents providing meals and childcare since the diagnosis on January 28th. I can't believe today is our " three month anniversary". How fast this disease strips you of everything you were. Obviously though, it cannot take your spirit!!I will update you again when I can.-Julie
