Mom has been sleeping almost all day again today. She is awake such a short time. I had to wake her this afternoon for Nina to cut her hair, likely for her last haircut. Nina made special effort to make a "house call" and blessed mom extra by not accepting payment for her service! When Nina left, Mom said, "Why are people so nice to me?" to which I replied, "JESUS is the One so nice to you - He loves you so much and He is using His people to bless you. He loves you so much, Mama." She is just overwhelmed by the cards, notes and visits from so many people. I keep reminding her that He is the Giver of all good gifts.

Sara is going to come sit with her Grandma around 4:00 on this evening, so that Mike and I can escape for a few hours to spend quality time with some good friends. Caregiving is emotionally and physically tiring (though I will NEVER regret my decision to keep Mama) so we thought a date night might prove good for the weary soul!
Lyn is coming in the morning, weather permitting and if Mom is doing OK, to stay with her so that Mike and I can attend church together for the first time in almost a month! We will pick up our groceries and Mom's mediations on our way home and I will be good to sit tight for another extended length of time.
Her breathing is a bit more labored today - though I have seen it far worse. She is just so tired...
