06-17-26 Palliative Care
For the second time in 5 days I have a Mom in palliative care. Mom had a very bad day and they did a bunch of tests and she is septic. Her health directive is no drawing things out. I spoke with the Dr who was so kind and then we spoke with mom who agreed to just keep her comfortable. I called Greg and he is driving up.
They moved her to the palliative care room with a family lounge attached. Her brother, Lawrence, cousin, Rosie, Roger, Rae and three of the boys spent time with her. I helped her FaceTime with other loved ones and we finally reached her other brother, Bryan and Lynne who are on their way from Blind Bay.
It has been rough. She is comfortably resting but her blood pressure keeps dropping. I just pray that Greg and Bryan get here in time.
Rae is going to stay while I go home and soak my leg, shower and maybe take a nap.
My friend Mark is also failing. He’s off to the hospital tomorrow and it doesn’t sound good.
