The hospice that we really want to place mom with doesn't have an opening right now. We have placed mom on the waiting list, but mom's insurance wil not pay for her to stay in the hospital and wait for a bed to open so we must place her somewhere else (at another hospice facility) until a room becomes available at Tranquility.
She seemed to be coherent for the most part today, but sometimes I would ask her something and she would not respond. But she would smile. Her pain creeps up every once in awhile and they give her Dilaudid and it subsides. She doesn't remember much from the past few days and she struggles with names and things like that. But she is able to talk and I cherish everyday that I can go in and hear her say "I love you too."

Dear Lindsey, Jason, Bob, Betty, Robbie, Pat and family,
I am so sorry to hear this recent news. I am continuing to pray for each and every one of you, but most especially for your dear mother/daughter/sister. God's enduring love for Krista and for all of you will be your strength during this time.

Lindsay, I did not realize until now when I read all of your posts to what extent your mom was sick. I am so sorry to hear that she is terminal and may not have much time left. I hope that you and your family get to spend as much quality time with her as possible until the end. I know what you are all going through - I lost an aunt to cancer a little over a year ago and it was a very hard time. If there is anything I can do for you or your family, please do not hesitate to let me know and please know that you and your mom (and the rest of your family) are in my thoughts at this very hard time ahead. taylor@thebeachouse.com.au
Absolutely! I love her, too, and we will try to come up for a visit when school gets out on the 24th of May - wish we could come sooner! Is she still eating? I don't know exactly what she's "hooked up to" but just wondered about her comfort - we will pray for the pain b/c it would be nice for her to be comfortable. I got the message from your mom, but when I called that number, a man said I had the wrong number, so I couldn't reach her! Please tell her how much I wish I could see her again and we'll try! Love, Peggy
we are praying with you in these most difficult of times. May the Lord wrap you in his comfort and give you the strength you need. Love is pouring out -
