From Kelly 11-12-13

Gracie & I got to HM (Hospice Ministries) around 4:00.  Becky was about the same, maybe a little less alert.  She was sort of restless; had a hard time getting comfortable.  I think Becky was glad to see Gracie.

Ethebet called today & left a message about Becky's itching.  She was still experiencing some itching this evening.  Gracie & I rolled her onto her side, and Gracie scratched her back.  The CNA rubbed lotion on Becky's legs & feet.  We don't know if the morphine was causing the itching, but to be safe, HM has switched to Dilaudid.

Melissa came by around 5:15.  It sure was good to see her!  She & I "played charades" with Becky until we figured out what Becky wanted.  Sometimes that's the most frustrating aspect of Becky's illness.  Becky's head was hurting so she received Dilaudid.

Monica, Mike & Lundy arrived at 6:15.  When Becky saw Lundy, she reached her hand out for her.  Lundy gave her a big hug & kiss.  Melissa & I left a few minutes after that.

David is coming tomorrow at 8:00, followed by Lauren at 10:00, then me around 11:30.  Eric is coming at 2:30.  Lauren is going to see if Danny & Joy can come after 5:00.  Then Lauren is spending the night.

Love to all
