After sleeping for several hours straight, Mom woke up to visit with me, Lauren, and Granny for a bit. She looks very happy and peaceful and is remarkably alert. She even did our "secret handshake" with me and Lauren :-)
She remembers everyone who has visited. Sometimes I think she is able to hear and know that people are here even if she appears to be sleeping.
She seems to be developing a rash and is itching a lot. We are about to meet her doctor, Dr. Raju, and we will ask her about it. The only new medicine she has been given is morphine but supposedly she has had morphine before without issue, so who knows...
Overall I think that Hospice Ministries has been a great choice and they are doing everything they can to peacefully guide Mom (and us) through this difficult time.
Send a hug from me in California. Love from Sharon
