Hi Ladies,
Just want you to know I will be back, but at this time my Mom needs me. She was signed on to Hospice Home Health Care yesterday. She needs 24/7 care now. My sisters and brothers are all pitching in together. Also, some of the grandchildren are helping. It's going to be a big job, so we feel very fortunate to have lots of help.
Mom has Congestive Heart Failure and has had for years. Finally it's to a point that there isn't any more Doctors can do for her. It's been a long haul.
There isn't any internet service at her house making it very difficult to keep up with Mary Jane activities right now. Hope everyone has a Happy Fall and Great Holidays. I will be thinking of all of you.
Just wanted to let everyone know we had Mom's funeral yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day. One of the nicest and most pleasant funerals with only her immediate family.
God was so gracious to us and worked it out for our family members to be with her or call her while she was still able to visit with each of us. It was so nice to be given the time to say Good-bye for now. She no longer is suffering and missing Dad. She sure missed him. He went to be with God 6 years ago. We are happy for her since we know for sure she is in Heaven with Jesus and Dad. What a Great day of rejoicing in Heaven it was for Mom and Dad and all that have gone on before them.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

Brenda, you will be missed; but, in our thoughts and prayers.
I kind of understand where you are coming from. My sister and I did the 24/7 care for our mother. Its not easy. However, we will not
regret spending that time with her.
I'm glad you will have others stepping up to help. Take good care of yourself. Hugs!

Brenda,
I'm sorry that your mom is so ill, but glad you have help. My mom was a Hospice patient before she passed away . . . Hospice was the BEST thing for her and our family.
I will be praying for you, your mom and your family.
Hope you'll have opportunity now and then to let us know how things are going!
HUGS and PRAYERS!

Hi Everyone,
Mom has been with Hospice for a week and two days. At the beginning she could still use her walker. Now she has all she can do to get up and on the commode by the bed and back into bed. She is failing fast. Feel so sorry for her. I'm hanging in there. Had a chance to come home for a few hours and thought I would update all of you. So glad I can sleep in my own bed for tonight.
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda
