It was very sad when they left last night, saying goodbye. Martha said it was like Grandma wasn't really here anymore, as even last night she was getting very disorientated. Today though she was very confused. She can't finish any thought or sentence. she says many things that don't make sense. Her eyes are glazed over part of the time.
Eric and Grandma
Moriah and Jenny with Mom
Moriah and Grandma with her Pearl necklace that I gave her. I bought it for her in the Philippines. On my birthday in Sept she came up to Libby and I gave it to her. It's hard to imagine how good she was doing just a few months ago.
We actually got her sitting up for a little bit while we changed her sheets. this is Jeannie and Race, Eric and part of Moriah.
June , Jean and Mom.
June left this morning too. She flew out. It was heartbreaking to watch her say goodbye. She told her "you are the best mom we could ever have" I have to agree.
Moriah and I stayed with her for hours today holding her hand, rubbing her hair, listening to her comments that didn't make sense. She hardly ate or drank all day. A bite of toast, and a few tablespoons of yogurt. She was so "gone" that it really surprised us when she sat up tonight and said a few things that made sense. We thought we would sing her a song. So we sang her favorite song, "beautiful" and she began to sing with us. It took her a whole bunch of effort, and it was very quiet, and soon all of us were crying and couldn't sing. As we were crying Grandma said, "we'll all be together, We'll all be in heaven". It was so special that she was suddenly so clear when she hadn't been making any sense.
