The end is near.
Apri 9th
I fell the end is near. They have padded bandages on her elbows now because she sits in a wheelchair all day and can't move. They try to move her hands and she won't let them. I fear she has given up. They told me today, that they have started turning her every two hours to prevent her from getting any more bed sores. I try to hold her hand I can feal her trying to move her fingers. Today was another non-verbal day. All she can do to communicate is move her head up or down to signal. How do you carry on? Part of me wants to go with her, but I know that she wouldn't want that. I have to stay strong for my 2 kids, 8 grandkids & 11 great grandkids. If there is a God, please help me thru this.
