Hello Morphine

Its been a bit of a winding road since I last sat down to this ol keyboard but here we are again. Let me fill in a few of the gaps to this little to date. It starts with, 'I think I would like some Kettle Corn today', two handfuls later, 'its a little to salty'. Next day....'I think a teen burger would be good...half a burger later,..I think I'm going to be sick! Following day,...I would like some of those gluten free chips from costco. I bring back 3 kinds, of which, all are wrong! Back to Costco where I find the RIGHT ones! A couple of handfuls later...I can't eat those anymore. The food cravings for different things carried on as well as an improvement in her mobility. Yes, the stubborness (determinedness) is still there. We watched with confusion as she gained alertness and then started asking to do things that we never thought would happen. The first major event was that she wanted to go out for a drive and coffee so we got her bundled up, tucked into moms car, and then proceeded to take her to Makaelas school. It just so happened that it was recess time and so she was able to say hello to the teachers and watch her daughter show off in usual carefree manner in the playground. A few minutes (and a few tears) later, it was off to Frankly's Coffee for another half hour or so and then back to hospice. A few days later, being Sunday, she beamed her radiant smile at the world as we wheeled her out to the truck for the afternoon gospel meeting. Everyone was amazed to see her there. This was followed up by an outing to the mall for a couple of hours, a second Gospel meeting, and another coffee time trip to Tim Hortons. Must not forget the major event this last Saturday, The 'Grande Tea Party'! Veronika Larson organized a tea for the Barnhartvale ladies who lanita has worked with to come and share a morning tea with complete with scones, desserts, fruit, etc. and I can't fill you in every detail as no boys where allowed! To watch someone go from the not talking, can't walk state, to this this was almost akin to watching someone walk on water. They say it is a fight to live but it is also a fight the other way. This last Wednesday started fine but by noon things took a turn. She started to experience sharp pains not only in her shouder but in her sides and it hurt to breath. Hello Morphine. There is an infection going on but it looks like fever is now gone.
