{Thank goodness it’s ... almost time for General Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. Anticipation!
Friday 4:32am I further note that Kay is now set for several hours of peaceful sleep, if she puts her mind to it. The conditions are favorable, and the jobs are done, so we can sleep till the doctor comes to talk at 9am). This should be a wonderful autumn day. Lord, please make it so.
> 8am So far, so good. Kay is doing better now, sleeping again. Prayers really do help. With love
>>11pm As her health is failing, four of our children are gathered here to be with their dear mother and each other. It is a sweet reunion, and our thoughts are also with our family in Arizona.}
(Quick addition Thursday 6:42am 10/4;
Kay decided to talk clearly this morning, understandably. I won’t go into details except timing: 1:31, 1:53, 3:40, 5:53, and 6:33. It was remarkable. Now you can read between the lines, so to speak, and draw your own conclusions — two action verbs for the day. (Oops, I missed one, if taken out of context.)
Yes, today is another day with Kay, whom I love dearly.
A blessed day!)
[Feeble, fragmented update this Wednesday 7am 10/3:
Yes, it truly was another Tuesday with Kay ... all the way ... until midnight. Good helpers came, and good things happened — like receiving and eating delicious comfort food! Faithful prayers brought tender mercies.
Thanks, everyone! Kay and I love you! ]
Monday with Kay has been quiet and restful since meds were done at 3am. Here we are, already the second day of a new week and the first day of a new month & quarter. What will Q4 bring?
Kay is "sleeping in", bless her heart; she deserves all the rest in peace she can get, in more ways than one.
{11:35pm update: Peaceably accepted meds — no problem. Sleeping soundly again.
Our five children, a daughter-in-law, and a member of our Michigan Family gathered here for lunch. (So generous of our “kids” to bring healthy fast food.)
Memorable moments with mom.}
[10/2 6:26am fast note: Kay was relatively strong as we did the routine since 5:21am. I said our prayer this time while she was drifting back to sleep. Now silent night. We know Heavenly Father hears and answers prayers.]
Coming up: another Tuesday with Kay.
With love.
