Mom has now been nine days without food or dexamethasone. We have tried to administer her morphine sulphate 1/4 mg at a time, but it goes down with great difficulty because her swallow reflex is not complying. She continues to receive 25 cc's per hour of sodium chloride, and the 125 mcg of fentanil administered through patches on her shoulder. Her breathing is labored. Her pulse was 148 last night and has been consistently over 120 for five days. We are treating her bedsores the best we can, weighing the need for treatment against the discomfort she experiences when we move her.
It should come as no surprise to us that at this time, when her resources are at the absolute minimum imaginable, that she still breathes and still responds to kisses on her cheek. We cherish her presence but her comfort and peace are our greatest concern. Please pray with us for Mom's comfort.

Oh Pat...God be with you!
LORD -
YOU ARE THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT....WE PRAISE YOU FOR THAT. I LIFT THIS ROSE TO YOU...I PRAY FOR A DEEP CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO YOU --
I PRAY THAT SHE IS IN A PLACE WITH YOU THAT WE COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND...AND THAT SHE IS RESTING WITH YOU IN THE SUPER & THE NATURAL.
FATHER, YOU SAY IN 2 CORINTHIANS, "We do not look at things that are seen, but the things unseen, for the things we see are temporary, and the things unseen are eternal..." I PRAY THAT WHAT PATTY CAN NOT SEE - ARE THE AMAZING, AND SUPERNATURAL, AND THAT YOU ARE TAKING ROSIE TO DEPTHS & JOURNEYS THAT WE COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND AS HER BODY IS HERE...AND YOU ARE IN PROCESS OF BRINGING HER GLORY TO GLORY....YOU ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF BRINGING HER FAMILY TOGETHER ON LEVELS AND DEPTHS THAT ONLY YOU KNOW!
ROMANS 8:28 SAYS YOU WORK all THINGS FOR GOOD -- NOT JUST SOMETHINGS -- I PRAY THAT THE ENTIRE FAMILY WILL SEE YOUR GOOD IN WAYS THEY NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND BEFORE....LEAD THEM BY STILL WATERS...POUR ON YOUR MERCY...YOUR GRACE IS ENOUGH! PRAISE YOU JESUS!!
BLESS THEM IN '09....amen.
Thank you.
