She seems very peaceful. They started to give her morphine yesterday in case there is any pain. Her lungs are filling with fluid so they have her on an oxygen mask . It just a matter of when she is ready.
My dad died over twenty years ago of a heart attack. Looking at her lying there reminds me of what we went through then. Medical technolgy has come a long way since then. Still, we aren't on this earth forever. Like it or not. And life does go on without us. I am hoping that being a caring, loving person is the memory that people will have of me when I am gone.
Yesterday as a distraction, I ordered more seeds from Seed Savers in Iowa. Also some transplants of peppers & tomatoes. When I get the chance I'll list the kinds I ordered...
Here are some pics from the weekend.
Eli & Lizzie's dog
Their sign at the end of the driveway
The first egg of theirs I cracked open

I am glad the least the can do is make her comfortable and that all the kids are there. Take good care of Dad he needs you all so much, I am sure.
On a happier not - the doggie is a cutie and now I want farm fresh eggs [I swear I can SMELL that pic']
I´m sorry to hear about Steves mother. Now it´s just to wait and hope she´s comfortable.
I love the photo with Eli and Lizzies dog!
Take care now!

A loved one leaving is such a difficult thing. And aging parents are like a clock for us all. We were just visiting my Mom over the weekend and I was thinking about how lucky we are to still have her.
Thinking of you here out west...
I am sorry that your family is going through this. I've lost both my parents, so I know how it goes.
I don't think I've ever had a double yoke.
And, the dog is just adorable ^,,^
I feel so bad about Steve's mom and what you and the family are going through. It is a very emotional situation, but I am sure his mom is aware you are all there and that is how I would want it to be for myself.
Praying for all of you...

The end sometimes takes a few days. It helps a lot if they seem to be resting peacefully.

It is such a stressful time when all you can do is wait and make sure she is pain free and comfy. Enjoyed Eli's puppy dog. He looks as if he's on a mission. Eggs look yummy. I love homegrown eggs. The yolkd are so so golden! Hopefully you all will get enough rest. Will keep you all in my prayers...debbie
