So, on Sunday, the midwest had some crazy weather. The tornado sirens went off. Thankfully Sheelagh said Dave had just pulled into the garage and was able to help mom get to safety. A tornado did touch down close to them, but they faired ok. Just some broken trees to cut down.
As far as how Mom is doing. She is bedridden. She is still able to feed herself. Mom has had severe confusion, not really aware of where she is. Sheelagh said that a few days ago, she still said "I love you", but that's few and far between.
She is still on steroids, not to help with swelling, but for a pain management. We all wonder when her time will come. Somedays you have the "why me" but then you pull up your boot straps, and count all the blessing you do have. Mom, is still with us, and we have learned so much from her, and are still receiving lessons on patience, understanding and service
To lighten the mood. Found a fun family photo. This photo was most likely taken around the holidays.

Our prayers are with Charlotte and family. Never a day goes by that I don't think of her and how she must feel and you as her children. We lost our father to cancer and he had up and down days to the end. God Bless each of you and know that God has his arms around you for strength.
ReplyDeleteThis is Mona using my husbands gmail profile to post here. I missed wishing Aunt Charlotte a Happy Birthday so belated Happy Birthday and give her a big hug and kiss for me sure miss her. BTW the family pic from when you all were young that is the Aunt Charlotte I remember and Graham looks exactly like my son Billy did at that age. Thank you all for letting me be a part through Emma's Route now I know why I have always loved that name.
