Thursday – time flying by

Sunday 7:47 AM 9/16  fast addition, out of order, at the top ... before a new post.
We are peacefully sleeping in ... Kay and I ... and our son Quinn.  A break from sleep at 3 AM, helped fill some needs for meds and them ...

Yesterday 9/15, we welcomed visitors, including four of my adorable siblings and three sweet friends from west Layton.  Sharing memories brought joy and cheer ... made Kay smile with thoughts so dear.
Loving tears show such concern ... and gratitude we hope to earn.

Wednesday 9/12 was another special day for Kay.
Amazingly, she is still sleeping, having missed her usual 5:33 AM routine.

Two of my angel sisters brought equipment, visited with me, and briefly brightened sleepy Kay's day as she recalled a 1971 Cannon family trip to Vancouver.

Friday 6:44 AM update: Thursday was another great day!  Kay's sister Susan brought heavenly Kneaders cake/bread, and we had a good down-to-earth talk.  (Our siblings have been so supportive!)
At lunch time, Kay got the urge for pizza ... Hawaiian style, our favorite.  Little Caesars (based in Detroit, Michigan) was not close enough, so I found a restaurant nearby that knew how to make it (at double the price, of course).  That made a big hit with Kay and us caregivers.  She eats very little, but it warmed my heart to see her enjoy a taste of ... Italy?

Friday mid-day three of our “kids”, as the salesman lovingly called them, had a productive meeting at our traditional SLC mortuary.  Later this afternoon, we welcomed our son Quinn, a pharmacist whose knowledge and experience are in need here.  He is quietly visiting and helping Kay enjoy a video now.

Saturday already?!  A beautiful 7am sunrise started my day after sleeping late.  ( I showed the photo to Kay after she woke up; she seemed to have had a peaceful night, thankfully.)  At 9am Quinn did the two IV meds for Kay; he is so skillful and caring.  Her desire was then to continue her daily audio study of the Book of Mormon; (let that be an example to our posterity).
So, she is almost back to sleep, I imagine with heavenly dreams.  Kay is an angel and a true saint!

Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts, love notes, generosity, faith, and prayers!
We love you!!
