I’m glad you got to go help out at the museum! What was your main task today?

We have gotten a bit over 3/10ths of an inch of very slow rain today. Great for the yard and plants!

Dulcie has not woken up today. She has begun to have gurgling in her throat, but is still lucid enough to clear her throat to remove it. She hasn’t eaten since Monday. We are keeping her comfortable with the morphine and Lorazepam.

I hoped you’d gotten a little more rain than that based on the radar. But gentle soaking rain is always good. There’s still more on the radar so maybe you’ll end up with a nice total when it ends.

We were thrilled to get 1.5 inch yesterday and it was a soaker. That was three times what we got the entire month of Nov.

Looks like any snow this weekend will stay north of us. Whew! But it’s still going to be cold enough we won’t want to go outside if we don’t have to. Highs in the 30s with wind.

My task today was what it was last week and will be for a while ..... cleaning uniforms. Just brushing them off real good with a lint brush. We’re supposed to get a bunch of garment bags from a dry cleaners to cover them with but they weren’t there today.

Sorry to hear Dulcie is going downhill so fast. But at the same time fast is better than lingering. For her sake any way. I know y’all aren’t in any hurry to say goodbye.
Prayers continue.

Hold her hand, stroke her arm gently, tell her you love her, and tell her it is ok to go. She is ready. You will find yourself watching for the next breath. So glad you have the meds and hospice.

I know the signs...I tried to get a suction machine...”you need a prescription from the doctor”. *sigh* One of us sat with her 24/7...Suzye TOLD her NOT to swallow. We would take of it.

Prayers of peace for all of you continue...((HUGS))

Glad you are getting rain.
