Friday Visit

The night went pretty good for Kathy. She looses her pillows or pushes them off, so I came up with a remedy for it. I looked around for something to tie them to the tray. There laid a fresh hospital gown....with ties!!! So I wrapped the pillows and tray together and tied them on. It lasted most of the night. I woke up at 5:30 and she had managed to push the whole mess to the end of the tray and it was all hanging down toward the floor. She woke around 6a.m. which is the time for her meds. She finally laid her head down again and slept about 11:30a.m. and slept a couple of hours. She is sitting in a chair still, and I'm sure she's tired of that position. She normally just fidgets constantly. I left around 3:30 p.m. to greet my grandson and his mother coming from the Dallas area for a weekend visit.

Visitors as best I know were Jim Jackson, Sherri Henry, Pat Cullum, Mary and Butch Fowler, Jane Hayes, Carolyn McMillan, Catherine Davis, Katie Schneider and Joann Clair. Now when I say visitors, I'm not referring to the family, because Pearl, Roy, Kristi, Karla and grandkids, her brothers are a given. Her oldest brother Ralph and wife Erma arrived today for the weekend. Her youngest brother, Kenneth is still here. Helen, Roy's other sister arrives tonight also. Erma is set to stay the night but so is Helen. They can tug it out. HA! Debby Carter came last night. I forgot to mention her.

Father God, I know your timing is perfect so I pray your timing is soon. I hate for her to suffer like this and I know it can only get worse. If it's not time yet, please give her and Roy another good night's rest. In Jesus name and in the power of the blood that he shed on the cross for Kathy. Amen. p.s. Thank you so much for allowing me to sit at her feet for so many years. She is such a good friend.

It's me labeling as I see it. :(
