Hey Family
Early morning and I am on my way back to the hospital. This has been such a terribly hard week for us. My heart is so broken about about Donna Beth. Being 1 year apart in age, we went thru so many things together in our young life. I still can't believe she is gone.....it is so hard to realize. Kittie came to the hospital at 10:00 the morning of her service and sat with me for that hour and we could only try to be there with her family in spirit.So many of our friends have come to the hospital, sent flowers and cards, memorials, to let us know how sorry they are for this terrible loss. J W grows weaker everyday and is never awake much at all. He builds up lots of "stuff" in his throat that he has trouble getting up and has to be suctioned several times a day, bless his heart. His pain is really great, even when he seems asleep, he will start to moan a lot and I know he needs relief. He only had 1 extra dose of pain med yesterday besides his pain "patch" med. The hospital has been so wonderful to us. They all came around and cried with me when we got the news about Donna Beth. They bring me a tray every meal and all the clinic staff come by everyday to check on J W. We are so lucky to have this wonderful facility. Got to get gone so I can see if I can get J W to eat a little. They are bringing him baby food now for lunch and supper. Oatmeal at breakfast goes down pretty good, we think, then hours later we find it stored in the corners of his throat. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, these are terribly hard days.
Love
Maw
