MIL update

*Update on MIL*

Joe is still in MN with his mom. He has decided to fly back tomorrow, as scheduled. She is kind of holding steady for the moment. She is no longer mobile and its possible that the cancer has spread to her brain. Joe says she doesnt make sense alot of the time and is sleeping more and deeper. She has bed sores and isnt eating very much anymore. The hospice people who come in give her baths, change her bedding and take care of her meds (just for pain now). They have told Joe that she is very close to the end but of course no one can tell for sure. He wants to stay but he has to go back to work and cant just hang out there indefinately. Once he gets home we will call daily to check on her status. I think the next trip will be all of us, driving out there.

I spoke with her briefly last Thursday.  It was uncomfortable and sad, I wasnt sure what to say. I concentrated on talking about her dog, assuring her that the dog was assimilating very well and that we all loved her. Very sad.

Anyway, today we are on a mission to clean the house before heading to the movie. I'll let you know how it goes.
