Prayer Request - My Mom is in Hospice

My mom, at about 87, is going into Hospice tonight. She has "outlived the hardware" and has had a wandering mind for the past few years, but it has come to a head in the past 9 months or so, after my parents decided to get her a new knee. We have discovered all kinds of things dad wasn't mentioning after this point...aparently her kidneys were on the way to failing before the knee, and we found out about the problem when they did and she went into regular dialysis. She has been frail and in a nursing home for the past six months, and dispite my Dad's hopes and all our prayers, hasn't taken to the physical therepy, and wandring further and further off in her mind. They have stopped dyalysis so it is just a question of time.

This is really the best thing. I picked up my dad and dropped him off to get his car last night, and did get to see my mom, who was asleep. Been good for my Dad as he mentioned over and over how peaceful mom looked (by logical extension, he was as well.)

Prayers and thanks for all here who care so much. I thought we Republicans were all supposed to be hard-hearted beggers? ;)
